Water is an essential nutrient for our body. It has various health benefits and, best of all, it is readily available.

It is essential we drink water regularly. This is even more important during hot weather, when exercising or when consuming drinks that can cause dehydration, such as coffee, tea and alcohol.

Every part of our body needs water to function, especially the kidneys. Our body loses water in a variety of ways, such as sweating and even just through breathing.

It is recommended that we drink plenty of fluids several hours before participating in exercise to avoid the risk of serious heat injury.

Thirst is a late signal of fluid loss. Drinking water regularly throughout the day will ensure the maintenance of appropriate fluid levels.

Unlike bottled water, South Australian Water contains fluoride, which assists in the prevention of tooth erosion and decay. If you drink bottled water instead of tap water you may not obtain enough fluoride to prevent tooth decay.

Many other bottled drinks, such as juices and soft drinks, have added sugar, increasing the risk of tooth decay.
