Essential called Water- I

Advices pour in at every moment of the day or night to have lot of water. H2O is extremely important for human survival. Anybody can live without food (for some time) but water is indispensable element.

The human body has around 70 percent water that is equivalent to existence of water on earth. Blood, oxygen, fluids, acids and vitamins run through the veins and arteries. Even hard body parts like bones too have water. Muscles and cartilages do consist of this fluid.

It is difficult to imagine a life without it. Even minute or hour, any human being has to fulfill his body requirements. This is not only to compensate the loss due to urination but its use in inhaling and exhaling too.

It is often seen that people using lot of brain or physical labor require greater amount of fluids. This will assist in not only providing stamina and energy but help stand on feet too. A lot of H2O is lost through dehydration and needs to be inserted back into the body through one or the other source.

The colorless and tasteless form of water is always the first preference after a meal or physical labor. However, there are certain supplements that are equally good and transmit fluids into the cells and tissues. Juice, fruits and drinks are most prominently used. Ice cubes in form of solidified water can give instant coolness to thirsty tongues.

Alcohol and soft drinks increase the fluid levels but are not good for health. Caffeine contained drinks like tea or coffee has detrimental effects on human body and must be taken in moderation. In fact, good sources of water are best for increased nutrition.

No matter in what way the water runs down the human body, it is essential and cannot be lived without. Water is a combination of hydrogen and oxygen but it is like pure oxygen that is needed with every breath.
