Water plays a vital role in digestion also by facilitating the transportation and solubility of chemicals through the gastrointestinal tract.
Blood contains 92% water by volume and carries catabolic residues from the cells to the organs of the excretory system, kidneys, lungs, and skin. It helps regulate body temperature through perspiration and the elimination of water vapor through the lungs. The best times to drink water as suggested by many is one and a half hours before breakfast, lunch and dinner and one and a half-hour after each meal.
