Solution
Water serves the following vital functions in our body:
Water helps in the absorption of nutrients in the body.
The nutrients obtained from food are transported throughout the body by water.
The wastes generated in cells are collected and transported by water.
Every day, we loose water by excretion, by sweating, etc. To replenish this water, we must drink at least 6-8 glasses of water each day.
