Importance of water

Our bodies are 60% water. It is an essential component of all human tissue. Water helps the cardiovascular system and circulation to deliver nutrients and oxygen to our cells and muscles, and regulates our temperature. It also carries natural waste away from our cells and takes them to the kidneys to be eliminated.

The Natural Hydration Council

The amount of water we need to drink is determined by our physiology, our lifestyle and the climate we live in. To help everyone understand the importance of hydration, Danone Waters UK & Ireland Ltd helped create the Natural Hydration Council, a not for profit organisation dedicated to researching the science and communicating the facts about healthy hydration.
