Our body is filled with water called "body fluid", which is indispensable for sustaining life. When the water content of the body decreases, various disorders may occur.

The human body is made of water

It can be said that our body is made of water.

The body contains a lot of water, but in the case of an adult male, about 60% of the bodyweight is water. In other words, if you weigh 70 kg, you have about 42 liters of water in your body.

The amount of water contained in the body varies depending on the age, and it is about 70% for infants, but it decreases with age and becomes about 50% for the elderly. In addition, females have more fat than males, so it is said that adult females have about 55% water content. By keeping the water content of the body constant, various organs work normally.

Body fluids that support life activities

Water is the most important thing for the body. Water in the body is essential for the absorption of oxygen and nutrients as blood, the circulation of body fluids, the transportation necessary for excretion of waste products, and the rebirth of cells, but it also plays an important role in thermoregulation and carries out life activities. It is indispensable for the above.

Not only sweating, but also drying causes the body to lose water, so it is important to replenish well and maintain sufficient moisture throughout the four seasons in order to maintain good health.

What is dehydration?

Dehydration is the loss of fluid and the lack of necessary water and electrolytes. Even if the amount of water that is essential for life support is reduced by 1 to 2% of the body weight, mild dehydration appears, so it is necessary to keep the amount of water constant in order to maintain good health.

Heatstroke is widely known as a physical disorder caused by dehydration, but a large amount of water loss due to sweat is not the only cause of dehydration. It has been reported that if the body dries unknowingly in a low humidity environment, the mucous cilia transport function that protects the body from economy class syndrome and viruses, etc. deteriorates.

So when dehydrating, you can choose the ion supply drink Pocari Sweat to promptly and accurately compensate for the amount of water and ions needed for the body. POCARI has a composition equivalent to the amount of body fluid lost and is absorbed into the body 2.2 times faster than water, helping to promote blood circulation and help restore the body's best status.
