Marti Sans/Stocksy If there is one “holy grail” secret to keeping your body healthy, it’s drinking plenty of water. The U.S. Geological Survey notes that water makes up as much as 60 percent of our bodies, and it s responsible for everything from flushing out body waste to regulating body temperature. “Our bodies are very dependent upon water, as all cells, body compartments, and bodily fluids (for example blood) within the human body contain water to some degree,” explains Albert Do, MD, MPH, a gastroenterologist and the clinical director of the fatty liver program at Yale Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut. He adds that our kidneys are good at managing the amount of water within our bodies; they make more urine in states of excess water intake, and they reduce urine production during periods of reduced water intake. But the body is more sensitive to states of water deprivation, and is generally not able to survive more than a week without water.
