Staying hydrated helps your organs and other body parts work at an optimum level by creating sweat that evaporates to lower the human body's temperature. It's worth noting that a variety of factors including genetics cause some people to lose more sodium via sweat than others.
Water is a solvent for waste products in your body. It dissolves waste, breaks it down and allows it to pass out other bodies through urine and also sweat. This is why rehydrating with water after exercise is crucial for preventing the damaging effects of dehydration. Unlike many other beverages, water contains no added sugars or calories.
