H2O and You

here's another water related post, because you are water and water is you.

Our bodies are 60% water.

The average human consumes about 3 litres of water per day.

North America is the largest consumer of water per capita in the world

You can survive approximately 3 to 5 days without water

A dehydrated body has more difficulty absorbing and digesting food than a properly hydrated body.

80% of your brain tissue is water, about the same as a living tree

By the time you feel thirsty you have already lost 1% of your body's water.

Drinking lots of water can prevent heart disease and cancer by helping to flush toxins from your body, and can also help lubricate joints and prevent arthritis.

Good hydration also prevents cavities and tooth decay by helping produce saliva, which keeps your mouth  and teeth clean

The supply of water on earth has not changed since it was formed, meaning you could actually be drinking the same water as dinosaurs once consumed.

Water is known as the universal solvent because it can dissolve more substances than any other liquid
