 Water means life, since it
is the vehicle that carries:
- Glucose and oxygen to the cells;
- Nourishment, residues and mineral salts;
- Controls body temperature
75% of human being body is water, distributed
as follows:
- Brain: 75%;
- Lungs: 86%;
- Kidney: 83%;
- Muscles: 81%;
- Heart: 75%;
- Liver: 86%;
- Blood: 75%.
The body needs the water
to expel toxins and keep kidney and intestines working properly
so the good health is maintained; besides, the personal looking
is enhanced through a silky skin and brighter hair.
To maintain this balance, a person needs to drink and
average of:
- 3 liters of water per day;
- 90 liters of water per month;
- 1,080 liters of water per year;
- 43,800 liters of water over a 40 years period.
This is the reason why
the water is extremely important when the subject is health. The
drinking water has to be:
- Tasteless,
- Odorless and
- Colorless
When opening the house faucet,
sometimes the user is not having the same water quality existing
in the city reservoir. The water treatment in great cities does
not depend only on the estate or city water companies. There are
several issues linked to the final product quality. The water
contamination or pollution can take place within the pipeline
or even at the water tank in your house or building.
Regular cleaning on the water tank should be one of your main
concerns in order to maintain the water quality. Lack of hygienic
procedures in this case could generate a contamination spot in
the water system of your home. This is why the water coming to
your house has to carry a certain amount of chlorine, needed to
disinfect the water, to avoid the bacteria and worms proliferation,
but it has to be eliminated before human consumption.
Don’t forget: the water is the source of your health!!
Around 80% of all diseases and more than one third of deaths
in underdeveloped countries are related to polluted water consumption,
since it is a remarkable vehicle for illness spreading, especially
on the intestinal system.
Diseases that can be caused
by bad quality in the water:
Curiosities:

water;
- To build a typical American car, the manufacturer uses 50
times its weight in water;
- To process just 1 frozen chicken, at least 26 liters of water
