Water is essential for many bodily functions, including maintaining body temperature, lubricating joints and the digestive tract, and protecting the brain and spinal cord. However, it does not directly prevent the replication and growth of pathogens; that function is more closely related to the immune system and specific bodily fluids like saliva and mucus that contain antimicrobial agents.
