In One Glance

Water is essential for the body. It helps transport nutrients, supports digestion, keeps joints and tissues comfortable, and helps regulate temperature through sweating. Because we lose water all day—through breathing, sweat, and the bathroom—we need to replace it by drinking and eating foods that contain water. The story frames hydration as gentle self-care and encourages listening to thirst signals.
