70% of our body weight is water!

Water, the main element in our body
Water represents 70% of our body weight: 50 liters for a person that weights 70 kg, for instance. The 30% left are called “dry masses”. Body water is spread in two compartments: 2/3 of it is in the “intracellular” compartment, within our main organ cells (muscles, tendons, bones…); and 1/3 of it is in the “extracellular” compartment, outside the cells.
Water then not only plays an essential part in the functioning of our organs, but also helps us maintain a regular body temperature and eliminate wastes (via urine and feces). For everything to function properly, a balance has to be respected between the intra and extracellular compartments. We don’t only need to drink a certain quantity of water, but also one of a certain quality!
Mineral salts
- Mineral salts play an important part in cell function. A lack of mineral will certainly lead to a cellular dysfunction.
