Basics

Getting enough water every day is important for your health. Healthy people meet their fluid needs by

drinking when thirsty and drinking with meals. Most of your fluid needs are met through the water and

beverages you drink. However, you can get some fluids through the foods that you eat. For example,

broth soups and foods with high water content such as celery, tomatoes, or melons can contribute to fluid

intake.

Water helps your body:

Keep your temperature normal

Lubricate and cushion joints

Protect your spinal cord and other sensitive tissues

Get rid of wastes through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements

Your body needs more water when you are:

In hot climates

More physically active

Running a fever

Having diarrhea or vomiting
