The Vital Role of Water in the Human Body: Facts and Insights

Did you know that approximately 70% of an adult's body is made up of water? At birth, this percentage is even higher at 80% for infants. A healthy individual can drink up to three gallons (48 cups) of water daily. However, it's essential to be cautious as drinking too much water too quickly may lead to water intoxication. This occurs when excess water dilutes sodium levels in the bloodstream, disrupting the balance of water in the brain. Understanding these facts emphasizes the necessity of proper hydration and moderation.
