The body's need for water is second only to that for oxygen. One may live for weeks without food, but only for a few days without water. The body gets water from
-
water you drink,
-
beverages such as coffee, tea, carbonated drinks,
-
liquid foods such as fruit juice, milk, and soups,
-
water in foods (even those which appear dry), and
-
water released when carbohydrates, proteins, and fasts are metabolized in the body.
