Water facts for kids

When we are born water makes up about 75% of our body weight

 Water makes up about 60% of the body weight of older children and adults

 Water is constantly being lost from our body (when we go to the toilet, when we breathe, when we sweat) so if we don’t drink enough we become dehydrated.

 Water helps our body in many ways:

• It carries nutrients to cells;
• It helps to remove waste products from our major organs;
•  It helps us to control our body temperature.
