WATER IN OUR BODIES

Water in the body helps our bodies do a lot of things, like moving food to our cells, keeping us cool when we’re hot, and helping our bodies get rid of waste.

1. It helps your body work – Water is part of the blood, which carries food and oxygen to all your cells so they can do their jobs.

2. It keeps you cool – When you get warm, your body sweats, and the water in the sweat helps cool you down.

3. It helps you get rid of waste – Water helps your body get rid of things it doesn’t need, like when you pee or poop.

4. It helps you eat and digest – Water is needed for saliva to mix with food and for your stomach to break down food properly.
