Due Thursday (no later than Monday, 7/26)

We all know that water is important for the body. But why do we think that is? Consider all the reasons you have been told that our bodies need to consume water.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

• Share your reflections on the reasons that water is important for the body. Read the Article(s) or Google (research) the benefits of hydration and health. Support and defend your reflection, sharing facts.
• Expand your response with some critical thinking by proposing additional questions about the behavior of water in our bodies to guide some future scientific exploration. (ie: alkaline water, sparkling water, liquid I.V. hydration packs, Hydrate IV Bars, caffeine, vitamins, minerals or electrolytes added to water, tap water, bottled water, cold vs hot, etc…) Again, do some research and share some interesting concepts.
