FATS ABOUT WATER YOU DON'T KNOW

You probably think water is the most abundant resources in our planet, that water ends thirst, water is necessary for cooking and bla bla bla....
Here is a list of those things you definitely don't know about this 70% occupier of our earth.
1. Roughly 70 percent of an adult’s body is made up of water and over 90 percent the cell protoplasm is the same. So we can literally say water is life.
2. At birth, water accounts for approximately 80 percent of an infant’s body weight.
3. A healthy person can drink about three gallons (48 cups) of water per day.
4.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.
5. Water intoxication is most likely to occur during periods of intense athletic performance. Just when you think you need, you should think of walking away from water intoxication.
6.While the daily recommended amount of water is eight cups per day, not all of this water must be consumed in the liquid form. Nearly every food or drink item provides some water to the body.
7. Soft drinks, coffee, and tea, while made up almost entirely of water, also contain caffeine. Caffeine can act as a mild diuretic, preventing water from traveling to necessary locations in the body.
8. Pure water (solely hydrogen and oxygen atoms) has a neutral pHof 7, which is neither acidic nor basic. More like a balance.
9. Water dissolves more substances than any other liquid. Wherever it travels, water carries chemicals, minerals, and nutrients with it.
10. Somewhere between 70 and 75 percent of the earth’s surface is covered with water.
11. Much more fresh water is stored under the ground in aquifers than on the earth’s surface.
12.The earth is a closed system, similar to a terrarium, meaning that it rarely loses or gains extra matter. The same water that existed on the earth millions of years ago is still present today.
13. The total amount of water on the earth is about 326 million cubic miles of water.
14. Of all the water on the earth, humans can used only about three tenths of a percent of this water. Such usable water is found in groundwater aquifers, rivers, and freshwater lakes.
15. The African continent uses about 500,000 million gallons of fresh water every day.
16. Nigeria uses nearly 30 percent of its water for irrigation and agriculture, 50 percent for domestic purposes and I'm working on where 20 percent is used for. (*_*)
17. The average person in the world uses anywhere from 80-100 gallons of water per day. Flushing the toilet actually takes up the largest amount of this water.
18. Approximately 70 percent of the world population receive their water from public water facilities. The remaining 30 percent supply their own water from private wells or other sources.
19. By the time a person feels thirsty, his or her body has lost over 1 percent of its total water amount.
20. The weight a person loses directly after intense physical activity is weight from water, not fat.
