Pearson Education, Inc.Nutrition and You, 2eWhy Is Water So Important?Water is the most abundant substance in body.Average healthy adult is about 60 percent waterMuscle: 65 percent water, fat: 10 to 40 percent waterCan only survive a few days without waterWater balanced among fluid compartmentsIntracellular fluids: inside cellsExtracellular fluids: interstitial fluid between cells and fluid in the bloodElectrolytes: minerals that help maintain fluid balance© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.Nutrition and You, 2eAnimation: Roles of Electrolytes in Water Balance© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.Nutrition and You, 2eWhat Does Water Do in Your Body?Acts as universal solvent and a transport mediumMedium for many chemical reactions in bodyAs part of blood, helps transport oxygen, nutrients, hormones to cellsAs part of interstitial fluid, helps transport waste products away from cells for excretionHelps maintain body temperatureIs a lubricant for joints, eyes, and is part of mucus and saliva Is a protective cushion for brain, organs, fetus© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.Nutrition and You, 2eThink Before You Drink: Can Water Boost Your Brain?© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.Nutrition and

consumed = water lostYou take in water through beverages and foodYou lose water through your kidneys (as urine), large intestine, lungs, and skin (as sweat)Insensible water loss: through evaporation from skin and when you exhaleLosing too much water can cause dehydrationDehydration can result from inadequate water intake or too much water loss from diarrhea, vomiting, high fever, or use of diuretics© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.Nutrition and You, 2eLosing Too Much Water Can Cause DehydrationDehydration can result from inadequate water intake or too much water loss from diarrhea, vomiting, high fever, or use of diureticsYour thirst mechanism signals dehydration.Dry mouth due to increased electrolyte concentration in blood: less water available to make salivaBlood volume decreases, sodium concentration increases in bloodBrain triggers thirst mechanism and secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) to reduce urine output Fluid inside cells moves into blood by osmosis©

2eConsuming Too Much Water Can Cause HyponatremiaHyponatremia is a condition of too little sodium in the bloodFor healthy individuals who consume a balanced diet, it is difficult to consume too much waterHowever, some individuals have experienced water toxicity© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.Nutrition and You, 2eHow Much Water Do You Need and What Are the Best Sources?Daily water needs vary depending on physical activity, environmental factors, and diet.Recommendations based on reported total water intake of healthy AmericansMen: 16 cups/day (about 13 cups of beverages) Women: 12 cups/day (about 9 cups of
