Water is also a nutrient. Why is water considered one of the most vital nutrient? What are its importance to the human
body? Can you survive without water? (5 points)

Water is necessary because it removes toxins from the body. Water is most likely the most important nutrient that a
human needs. Water accounts for around 60% of our body weight. Water is required for the efficient functioning of
every cell, tissue, and organ in your body. Water eliminates wastes through urine, sweat, and bowel motions, it regulates
your body temperature, and it lubricates and cushions your joints. A human can only survive for a few days without
water. Even little dehydration can produce headaches and impede physical and mental performance.
