Water In the Body - The Harm of Drinking Ice Water and Ice Drinks

Abstract

Drinking water is very important because our body is mostly water – a fetus is 95% water, a baby is 92% water – that is why they grow so fast. Between ages 20 and 30, the water content in the body drops to 70%. Between ages 40 and 50, the water is 50%, which makes the dehydrated skin to wrinkle. At age 70, the amount of water drops to 30%. Since the bones have vertical canals with structured water, which make them flexible, after the age of 70 when the water drops under 30% the bones become brittle. That is why the quality of the water we drink is so important [1]. Always filter your water! The water is chlorinated to kill the germs in it, but be sure you always filter the chlorine out before drinking it because chlorinated water causes cancer (found in German and American studies) [2]. Always use carbon filters because it is a physical absorption without residues. Water filtered with reverse osmoses contains some residual chemicals, which sensitive individuals feel like bitter taste.
