Drinking Water Is Good For You

70% of your body is water.

When you're exercising, don't wait until you're thirsty to drink up. Did you ever get a very dry mouth and suddenly feel very thirsty? That's because your body already needed water and was trying to tell you by keeping water from going to the salivary glands (these glands make saliva, or spit, which is made from water, remember?). So your mouth felt all dried out, and you had a drink.

But when it's hot or you're exercising a lot, it's much better for you to drink even when you're not thirsty. You'll feel better and have more energy.

Water is great - it helps every cell in our bodies, keeps things moving the way they should, and even cools us down when we need it! Keep your body healthy by drinking enough liquids all the time and especially when you're exercising.
