Bodies of athletes contain more water than bodies with proportionately lower muscle and higher fat such as non-athletic people, the overweight and older people. Water is like a lubricant in an engine. Some of its functions are:
*Detoxifying the metabolic system
*The solvent for important biochemical reactions supplying nutrients and removing waste
*Essential for blood formation and circulation throughout the body
*Creating temperature and pressure balance in the body
*An important element in the function of the digestive system Water in the form of evaporation carries heat away from the internal organs before serious damage is done which can lead to death.
