452. Water truly is vital to health and to life itself. It makes up on average 60-70% of one`s body weight (more in younger individuals, less in older adults). By simply drinking 8-10 glasses a day, one can satisfy the body`s needs. Water plays many roles in the day – to – day functioning of the human body. Remember, though, you cannot drink only when you are thirsty. Short changing your body of its water supply will reduce the effectiveness and ability of this wonderful nutrient to play its many roles. A recent study found out that 71% of preschool children do not drink any plain water during the course of a day. Some adolescents (and adults too) drink as many as six cans of soft drinks (full of caffeine and sugar) a day. While some would argue that this is indeed fluid, the caffeine acts as a diuretic, which will add to the exhaustion of bodily water. The difference between water and soft drinks is clear. If you drink 12 ounces of plain water, eight ounces of it will be absorbed by your body within 15 minutes. Yet, drink 12 ounces of a soft drink, and less than I ounce is absorbed in the same amount of time. Let frequent water drinking become a habit in your life!
