Water is fundamental for a variety of critical body functions:
Temperature control: It helps regulate your internal temperature by allowing your body to sweat in hot weather or during physical activity.
Healthline
Waste removal & digestion: Water aids in nutrient absorption, breaks down solid foods, and flushes toxins through urine and bowel movements.

Brain function: Even mild dehydration can negatively affect your mood, memory, and concentration.
To figure out how much you should be consuming based on your personal activity levels and climate, you can consult the hydration guidelines provided by the Mayo Clinic or learn more about the daily recommendations outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
