Water Storage
| Water is Essential The body can survive without food for a considerable period but this is not the case with lack of water, and so from a strictly survival point of view, water is the most important element for your body's survival. The amount of water lost from the body through urine, water vapour from the lungs, and through perspiration averages 2.5 litres per day. Water loss must be made up by fluids consumed, and by the water produced in the body as a result of metabolic processes. The effects of dehydration on the body therefore are dramatic and range from thirst to stronger thirst, sleepiness, apathy, nausea, emotional instability, laboured breathing and dizziness, delirium--and finally death. Infants, children, the elderly or physically ill persons are particularly susceptible to dehydration.
