Water

Majority of humankind tend to underestimate the power of water. Approximately 70% of the human body is water while an infant’s body is 80 % water at the time of birth, and 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water. Fresh water is stored in underground aquifers and the earth never really loses any water i.e. we are probably drinking the same water that quenched the thirst of a dinosaur. We begin to feel thirsty when we have lost about 1% of our body water.

Now something for those weight watchers, after an intense physical activity we can see some weight loss immediately. Well, that is not the fat that has just miraculously melted away through our sudoriferous glands, but the water we have lost from our body.
