Coach Ray Traitz with another episode on excelling in your nutrition and fitness goals.
We all know water is important to survival, however, do we know if we are drinking enough?
Fact: Water is of major importance to all living things; in some organisms, up to 90% of their body weight comes from water. Up to 60% of the human adult body is water.
According to Mitchell and others (1945), the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water. The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even the bones are watery: 31%.
