We are almost 70% Water

We are made up of so much water, it should really make us think about the water that we consume.

• 85% of gray matter in the brain is water
• 83% of blood is water
• Even bone is 22% water.
• Total water in an average adult - 37 Liters
• Sound is conducted through the middle ear by water
• Water serves as a cushion for the brain and spinal cord
• Water serves as a lubricant for moving surfaces such as joints, the heart, and intestine.
• Water moistens the surface of the lungs for gas diffusion.
• Water is the medium for digestion, absorption, metabolism, secretion, and excretion.
• A six-year study of more than 20,000 healthy men and women aged 38-100 in the May 1, 2002, American Journal of Epidemiology found that women who drank more than 5 glasses of water a day were 41% less likely to die from a heart attack than those who drank less than two glasses. The protective effect was even greater in men!
