The earth is covered by over 70% water. And, as earthlings, the human body is made up of about 70 percent water. As such, as humans, our bodies also crave the water. Not only do we desire to be near it by dipping in pools and beaches, but our internal workings also need the hydration. Adult humans are 60 percent water, and our blood is 90 percent water. Our water consumption has a direct correlation of how hydrated our bodies are. This shows up in our level of fatigue and even in our skin.
