    Water is the most critical nutrient for sustaining life. It makes up over half of the human body and is needed to move nutrients through the digestive tract, remove waste products, regulate body temperature, and lubricate joints. The body would die within a few days without sufficient water intake. Experts recommend drinking around 8 glasses of water per day, with a good guideline being to drink half your body weight in ounces to stay hydrated. Fiber absorbs water in the digestive tract, allowing waste to move freely and preventing constipation.
