Water Balance

Water balance refers to the way our body maintains a steady level of water, ensuring all organs and functions work properly. It involves two main processes: intake, mainly through drinking and food, and loss, primarily through urine, sweat, breathing, and bowel movements. When these inputs and outputs are balanced, the body's water level remains stable. Proper water balance is essential for regulating temperature, transporting nutrients, removing waste, and supporting cellular functions. The body automatically adjusts these processes to keep water levels in check, responding to factors like activity level, climate, and health conditions.
