Water is very paramount to human living. There are several reasons
why we need to focus on water. The following evaluation may interest
you:
1. The human body is made up of 70% of water. More than 70% of earths surface is water. However, most of it -about 98%- is salt water. Only 2% of the earth's water is freshwater and almost all is trapped in frozen glaciers
2. The muscles that move your body are 75% water; your blood that transport nutrients is 82% water; your lungs are made up of 90% water; the brain that controls our body is 76% water; and our bones too contain enough water up to 25%
Theses facts are undisputed and they show concisely that we are almost entirely made up of water. The following are some functions of water in the body which you may already know
A. Water forms the saliva
B. Water regulates metabolism
C. Water forms the fluids found around the joint. Hence it serves as a lubricant.
D. It regulates body temperature as heating and cooling processes are distributed through perspiration.
E. Water helps to alleviate constipation by moving food through the intestines thereby aiding in eliminating waste.
In addition to these, water plays a key role in the prevention of diseases. DRINKING 8-OUNCE GLASSES OF WATER DAILY CAN DECREASE THE RISK OF COLON CANCER BY 45%, BLADDER CANCER BY 50%, AND IT CAN POTENTIALLY REDUCE THE RISK OF BREAST CANCER.
Having seen the importance of water in human physiology, it should make sense that THE QUALITY OF THE WATER WE DRINK SHOULD BE AS IMPORTANT TO US AS THE QUANTITY.
Therefore another question that should bother us is what should be the quality and quantity of the water I drink?
