Water makes up about 60% of the body and drives almost everything that happens within it. Discover why hydration is key and how Well Biome Kombucha helps you stay refreshed every day.
Hydration is key to human health and wellbeing. Water makes up about 60% of an adult’s body weight and its importance for bodily functions is immeasurable. Every cell, tissue and organ in the body depends on water to function properly. Water plays a vital role in many biological processes, including regulating body temperature, transporting nutrients, eliminating waste, lubricating joints and maintaining skin health.
Water helps maintain a stable body temperature through sweating and breathing. When we sweat, water evaporates from the surface of the skin and thereby cools the body.
Blood consists of a large percentage of water and transports nutrients and oxygen to the cells, and also enables the absorption of substances from food in the digestive system.
Water is essential for removing waste from the body through urine and faeces. The kidneys use water to filter toxins and waste substances from the blood and the body.
Synovial fluid, which lubricates the joints, is mostly composed of water and enables smooth, painless and easier movement of the whole body throughout the day.
Water helps maintain the elasticity and hydration of the skin, preventing its dryness, tightness and the premature appearance of fine wrinkles and lines on the face.

During exercise we lose water through sweating. That is why it is important to drink water before, during and after physical activity so that we do not become dehydrated and lose our strength.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women have an increased need for water in order to support a greater volume of blood in the body and regular milk production during breastfeeding.

By understanding the importance of hydration and including hydrating drinks such as Kombucha in your daily routine, you can support your overall health and wellbeing.
