 Your blood (which contains a lot of water) carries oxygen to all the cells of your body. Without oxygen, those cells would die and your body would stop working without those cells moving around. 
Water is one of the basic human needs, and without it you will die.  Most people can go up to 3-4 days without water, but you will most likely experience headaches, a dry mouth and your pee would be a dark yellow/brown in an extreme situation.  ]]> 2018-09-17 01:26:59 UTC https://padlet.com/st17262/7s6ldi3gpvrw/wish/282071474 Food that have a lot of water in it: st172751 https://padlet.com/st17262/7s6ldi3gpvrw/wish/282071675 The following foods contain an adequate amount of water:
