Water is one of the most fundamental needs sustaining human life.
In the human body, hydration allows for the balance of electrolytes and the functioning of the kidneys, cardiovascular system, the brain, and more.
For athletes, water and hydration are crucial in maximizing performance and preventing dehydration.
At the same time, not all water is fit for purpose.
Consideration must be given to water contaminated with heavy metals or organic chemicals in some communities.
Water and Hydration in Health and Disease Prevention compiles the latest research on water in human health and connects otherwise scattered information into one comprehensive resource.
Just as water is involved in nearly every aspect of life on earth, its study is vast and interdisciplinary, spanning fields such as environmental sciences, physiology, molecular biology, endocrinology, clinical sciences and other disciplines.
Water and Hydration in Health and Disease Prevention will serve as an invaluable resource to researchers, clinicians, and students across all these fields.
