Water is the source of life, and the World Day draws attention to its protection, the purpose of which is to draw attention to the importance of clean water available to everyone and the danger of fresh water resources. This year's World Water Day draws attention to the need to speed up the steps taken in the right direction to solve the crisis threatening our waters and environment. We all depend on water, so everyone has something to do during this critical time. In 2022, the World Water Day in Hungary was expanded to a Water Week with a series of events lasting several days. Water is also important for the health of our heart!
Water makes up about 60 percent of your body weight. Every cell, tissue and organ in your body needs water to work properly. Water gets rid of wastes through urination, perspiration and bowel movements, water keeps your temperature normal, and water lubricates and cushions your joints. Water is also critical for your heart health. Your heart is constantly working, pumping about 2,000 gallons of blood a day. By staying hydrated – that is, by drinking more water than you are losing – you are helping your heart do its job.
