Why Hydration Matters
Water is essential for almost every function in the human body. It regulates body temperature, transports nutrients, supports digestion, cushions joints, and helps flush out waste products. Even mild dehydration of just 1–2% of body weight can cause fatigue, headaches, and reduced concentration.
