What is the relationship between water and health?

Besides sunshine and air, water is one of the three natural factors for human existence. Water breeds life. Generally speaking, water in infants accounts for 70% of body weight, 52% in adult women and 665,438+0% in adult men. An adult needs about two kilograms of water every day to maintain a normal existence. If he is short of water, he will die in a few days.

Three quarters of the earth's surface is covered by the ocean of water, so water is one of the important external environments for human beings. Similarly, water is also an important part of human internal environment, because water is the medium of human metabolism. The human body needs to constantly absorb water and nutrients from the outside, not only to transport various nutrients to all parts of the body through water, but also to excrete metabolites through water. And the water also contains a variety of trace elements. If the water quality is poor, or it is polluted halfway, the health consequences can be imagined.
