Water's Cosmic Waltz
Water, an unassuming essence, lacks the flamboyance of flavor, the allure of color, or the captivating scent that often captures our attention. In its simplicity, it flows unnoticed, traversing the Earth's tapestry from the coursing rivers and expansive oceans to the ephemeral embrace of clouds, constituting a staggering 70% of our planet's surface. Yet, equally astounding is the fact that this transparent elixir, so commonly overlooked, forms an integral part of our very essence, composing over 60% of the human body. Familiarity breeds neglect, and we find ourselves taking water for granted, dismissive of its silent role within and around us. However, this nonchalance is a luxury the rest of the solar system can ill-afford, as liquid water proves elusive in the cosmic expanse.

HYDRATION ODDYSSEY
Water is present in almost everything, including our body's cells and the moisture in the earth and ice caps. The average human body contains between 55 and 60 percent water, depending on location, age, sex, and fat index. Human newborns are even drier at birth. Since they are made of 75% water, they swim similarly to fish. But by the time they turn one year old, their water content falls to 65%.What function does water serve in our bodies, and what is the real amount we need consume to maintain our health? Our bodies use H20 to lubricate and cushion joints, control body temperature, and support the brain and spinal cord. Not just water exists in our blood. The heart and brain of an adult are nearly three quarters water.
