Around 60% of an adult’s body weight is water. We need water for digestion and the elimination of waste products. In a lifetime, each person is estimated to drink about 40000 liters (about 8750 gallons) of water both drink and food supply water. Water flushes our bladder and kidney infections and improves our bladder complexion by washing out the body’s waste products.
In recent years. Sale of bottled waters and of water filters have increased dramatically, reflecting public worries over the quality of tap water.
Drinking boiled water is best option to have water.
Where we get out water from :-> Some times many people do not drink water, but fruits and vegetables provide most of this additional fluid, but small amounts of water comes from bread and dairy products.
- · Drinks, including water, squashes, tea coffee, alcoholic and fizzy drinks supply about 62% of water in our daily fluid intake while the best source of liquid consumption is intake of pure as well as direct water
- · Milk ,milk shakes and yoghurt provide 10% of dietary fluids

People who drink too little water may suffer form headaches and poor concentration. But it is difficult to drink too much water. If a lot of water is taken in a very short period of time it can cause life threatening symptoms which are similar to those of being drunk.
To ensure that our water is safe to drink, the British Government has introduced Water quality Regulations, which I believe should be regularized in all the countries around the globe.
Sometimes tap water has undetectable chlorine (with naked eye) odour. If you smell a suspicious odour of any kind so to clarify your doubt you can fill a jug with water leave it in the refrigerator for about an hour or so, and the smell of chlorine will usually disappear. If tap water looks cloudy or has small particles floating in it, the reason could be that work is being carried out on nearby mains. As a rule your water authority will inform you when such work is planned and will suggest that you run the tap until the water clears. Otherwise you can boil the water for several minutes and allow it to stand do that any sediment sinks to the bottom. Then decant if carefully so that you leave the sediment behind. as far as I suggest we should never drink direct of tap water and should always consume purified, filtered or boiled water.
Most of the infections in human body are the result of intake of infected water so while having water in any form we should take care about this fact that the water we are consuming is pure and infection free. Water is vital for our life thus consumption of water in our day to day life should be prefixed and determined in quantity so to prevent ourselves from diseases and infections.
Thank you.
