Water is the most abundant component in the human body, representing approximately 60-70% of body weight, reaching up to 80% in brain tissue and attaining a concentration of 78-83% in blood. As an essential nutrient for maintaining life and health, water plays an important physiological role in the organism. It facilitates digestion and nutrient absorption from food, transports nutrients to various tissues and organs in the body, and simultaneously eliminates metabolic waste through urine, skin, lungs, and intestines.

To maintain normal life activities, the body needs to keep a dynamic balance of water, which means that the daily intake of water should equal the amount expelled. The daily input and output of water is illustrated as follows:

Water Output (mL) Water Intake (mL) Urine 900-1500 Water and Beverages 1100 Insensible Perspiration 500 Solid Foods 500-1000 Sweating and Pulmonary Exhalation 300-500 Metabolic Water 300-400 Feces 200 Total 1900-2500 Total 1900-2500

The sources of water for daily use include drinking water and bottled water. According to the national food safety standard for bottled drinking water (GB 19298-2014), bottled drinking water can be classified into purified drinking water and other potable waters. Different types of water, such as mineral water, distilled water, glacial water, ionized water, small molecule water, carbonated water, weakly alkaline water, and oxygenated water, do not have significant differences in physiological functions compared to boiled water. Boiled water is easy to prepare and economical, making it the most practical and cost-effective option to meet the body's health needs.

Drinking water scientifically is very beneficial for health. Some studies show that inadequate hydration can decrease the physical and cognitive activity capacity of the body and increase the risk of urinary tract infections. One should drink water proactively and in adequate amounts, opting for small amounts frequently instead of waiting to feel thirsty or experiencing symptoms of dehydration like reduced urination, fatigue, or headaches.
