5. Water
Every cell, organ, and layer of tissue in the human body needs water to maintain temperature and other essential functions. Surprisingly, up to 60% of the human body is water! Though it is recommended that you drink 8-oz glasses of water a day, a review study published on the National Library of Medicine argues that the number lacks scientific evidence (1). Instead, researchers highlight the importance of listening to your body's thirst cues. However, it is still essential to drink some extra water after significant water loss overnight, after a sweaty workout, and such.
