Water is a substance that can be considered as a matter of course, but it is such a complex part of our existence. In an article called "Becoming Water" by Susan Zwinger, we were asked to unite with the wave. But why? How tasteless and colorless substances are so important for life? Like the bonds that people form each other, water is connected to every aspect of life. "Please tell me where they are connected" (Zwinger, 243). Our irresponsible behavior continues to break these connections.
Water is one of the four basic elements on the planet. Without water, there is no life. Our body is made up of 70% water and is an important part of all organs. Drinking impure water destroys organs. These functions are disturbed, and in the worst case eventually leads to illness and death. With the intensification of urbanization, water pollution has increased and has serious effects on human health. The prevalence of hepatitis spreads widely, affecting one-third of people. In addition, diarrhea is the main cause of death of children, accounting for about 9% of minor child deaths. This means that 1,500 children die every day due to contaminated water, poor hygiene, hygiene conditions. These diseases can cause other infectious diseases and nausea, vomiting, dehydration and they cause 4 million diseases worldwide each year.
We heard countless numbers of benefits of drinking water in our lives. Maintaining moisture is very important to the human body, which helps fight a variety of diseases and conditions. One of the most important benefits of drinking water is that it can help you lose weight. According to US statistics, nearly 59% of adults are drinking drinking water if you want to lose weight. Drinking more water can help burn calories. Many studies show that drinking 0.5 liters of water a day will increase calories burned. This is called rest energy consumption. In adults, this expenditure increased nearly 30% in 10 minutes of drinking water. According to another study, overweight children increased their expenditures by 25% by drinking cold water. Many studies have shown that consumption of 0.5 liters of water can burn 23 calories and help reduce waist circumference.
