13 Interesting Facts You Should Know About Water

By Harvey Kent

Water is the most important element of life. Our bodies are 77% liquid out of which 70% is water. Water is the giver of life. Without it, life as we know it would not exist. So the water we drink and it's quality has a very important impact on our health. Here are 12 cool facts about water:

1) Specialist have all agreed that the best drinking water is the one with a balanced mineral content. A good mineral spring water, sparkling or not, from a trustworthy source is the best choice you can make.

2) Bottled teas, sodas and alcoholic drinks are both unhealthy and inefficient in quenching your thirst. They contain all sorts of bad chemicals, preservatives and tones of sugars. Plus they tend to have a diuretic effect and so they achieve the undesired effect of dehydrating your body and making you thirsty.

3) The cheap solution to bottled mineral spring water would be a water filter. The easiest way to chose the best water filter for you is to make a chemical analysis on your home water. Always remember to change your filter with regularity so that they always achieve the best results.

4) Ice can be harmful to people who suffer from cardiovascular illnesses. The difference in temperature can produce a sudden shock in their organism.

5) Drinking water while eating is not recommended because we tend to use it to facilitate swallowing rather than properly chewing our food. Remember to always take your time to chew properly when you eat.

6) Never drink hot tap water. It is very corrosive and often contains harmful agents. Cold tap water that has been boiled is far better for your body.

7) Every human uses 3 liters of water, on average, just to brush his teeth once. This is very wasteful and has harmful effects on the ecosystem. Please remember to close the tap while you brush and use a cup to rinse.

8) Food are also partly made out of water. Fruits are usually rich in water and the best sources for water intake: apples, grapes, pares and carrots.

9) On average a human consumes 60 000 liter of water during his entire life.

10) Water shouldn't be transformed into a mineral source. Although it does contain minerals, most of them aren't organic and thus can't be assimilated by your body. They can also be harmful and can cause problems such as arthritis and kidney stones.

11) 70.78% of the Earth's surface is covered by water. 97% of all the water is found in the oceans. Only 3% is fresh water good for human consumption and 3/4 of that lies in glaciers.

12) The average person uses about 270 liters of water daily. 140 liters are used on an average 15 minutes shower. The sailors on submarines can't afford such waste. They shower for just 2 minutes and keep the water running only to rinse. They use about 6 liters.

13) With the exception of distilled water, such as the one for your car radiator, all water is partly mineral. Even rainwater contains impurities. - 17268
