One of the simplest and most important forms of hydrotherapy is drinking water.  Every system in our body requires water, which makes up about 60 percent of our body weight.  A lack of water can lead to dehydration- the lack of enough water to carry out normal functions.

The amount of water each person needs to ingest each day varies based on multiple factors, including how active you are, the climate you live in, your health status, and if you’re pregnant or breast-feeding.
