Water: Human fuel
Water is our fuel, and without it we could not live, but you know why is it so important in our day to day? or do you know why we should boil the water? Those are just some of the questions that I will answer on this blog. And I will also show you curious things about water and its benefits and the disadvantages it has in our body, let's go there !!!
Why is water so important in our body?
Many of the organisms are made of 95% water; almost the rest are made up of half water. Additionally, two thirds of the planet is covered in water.
For living beings it is necessary to drink water to stay alive. An adult contains approximately 42 liters of water. With only a loss of 2.7 liters, a human being can suffer from the symptoms of dehydration. These symptoms include dizziness, weakness, headaches, fatigue, and nervousness. In extreme cases, dehydration can cause death.
Why should we boil the water?
Something that we all should know is that the water that comes from our faucet does not come very clean to say, and this depending on where you are can be seen with the naked eye.
By ingesting this water, we may be introducing a large amount of bacteria to our body, which can cause serious diseases.
Advantages and Disadvantages of H2O
-Advantage
-Hydrates us
-Water dilutes the sugar in your body
-Water is an excellent replacement for sugary drinks
-Disadvantages
-Hot water absorbs mostly lead, which is harmful to our body
-Water ingested in large quantities causes over hydration which can lead to death
-In countries like Chile, fresh water from the tap is charged. Because Chile sold its waters, this causes that the water is not free in this country.
How can we take care of the water?
One way to improve water and the life of all animals is taking care of it, since it is vital in our existence as living beings, and this is also a non-renewable resource.
To take care of the water is as simple as the moment we brush our teeth, we do not leave it running, and we only occupy it at the time of rinsing, in the shower we must also stop the water when applying shampoo or conditioner.
In conclusion
In short, the objective of this blog was to teach about how important and necessary water is in humans, apart from its properties.
I invite us to take care of the water among all following the advice I gave, and to inform ourselves ...
