    Water makes up about 70% of the human body and is obtained through drinking, food, and metabolic processes. We lose around 1.5 liters of water daily through sweat, urine, and other means. A loss of 5% water can cause unconsciousness, while 10% loss may be fatal. The body regulates water levels through osmoregulation. Minerals are essential nutrients that help the body use other nutrients efficiently and support vital functions. Important minerals include iron for hemoglobin, calcium for strong bones, potassium for muscle and nerve function, and zinc for cognition.
