As the world leading company in bottled water and producer of the Nestlé PURE LIFE brand, Nestlé Waters regularly carries out research to help better understand the important role of water and hydration for good health (1).

Water is essential to life

Water is the source of life. We cannot go without water for 2 to 5 days. Even light dehydration has dramatic effects on your physical and mental performances. Consequently, it is essential to drink regularly throughout the day, without waiting until you feel thirsty. Indeed when you start feeling thirsty, you are already dehydrated!

The only drink that is essential to life is water.

Water is the main component of all the vital organs (brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, etc.) so it is necessary to drink water to provide your body with the water it needs to function properly.
Drinking water regularly throughout the day therefore constitutes an easy reflex that is key for maintaining your vitality and health.
