- Did you know that water makes up 60% of the human body and 70% of the brain? Also, that a person can live several days without food but only a few days without water? Like air, water is essential to life, as it plays a vital role in helping the body to function and stay healthy. Water helps to regulate the body's temperature, transport nutrients and oxygen to cells, removes waste and protects organs, joints and tissue.
- Nutritionists recommend drinking at least 2 litres of water each day to help stay healthy.
- In the U.S., around 75% of people know this fact but only half actually drink around 2 litres per day. The most frequently consumed beverages are coffee, tea and soft-drinks. Only 3% of all drinks consumed are bottled water.
- The average per litre consumption of bottled water in New Zealand is 9 litres per person per year which is lower than the world average of 16.3L per person per year.
- In Australia and New Zealand, bottled water is the fastest growing beverage category with sales growing at over 30% year on year.
