10 Things About Water That You Definitely Didn't Know!!!

1. 70% of every humans body is water!
I think this fact is very interesting, because having the thought of us being more than just skin bones, meat organs etc. but more than half of us is water. so its more than; skin, organs and bones! This is one fact that can be varified that we cannot live without water! :) 

2. At every humans birth about 80% of the infants measured weight is water.
When we were all babies, imagine us being more than half of our weight being water! That's pretty amazing. Water is pretty heavy, and with 80% of our body being water while we were little, we must have weighed a lot, for little babies!

3. Drinking too much water too quickly can lead to water intoxication. Water intoxication occurs when water dilutes the sodium level in the bloodstream and causes an imbalance of water in the brain.
Well yes its true that we live off of water, and yes more than half of our body is water, but water can also damage us. Enough is enough! Never drink to quickly, never drink anything to quickly!
4. Somewhere between 70 and 75 percent of the earth’s surface is covered with water
 Sure i knew this before, we all did. but its amazing to find out that we are not the only ones needing water to survive, earth and the earths crust also needs this water in order to keep us standing and watering the rest of the plants we don't know about. i come to a conclusion that every single thing on this earth is needing water in order to survive, or be create. For example to make paint you would need water and some other substances, for making plastic you would also need water and other special ingredients. 


5. By the time a person feels thirsty, his or her body has lost over 1 percent of its total water amount.
As much as we have water in us, we are also able to lose water. But this only tells you that once your thirsty, your instincts react, and emideatly you should go to the tap or bottle of water..
