Water- health source

Water and the children's health. Children have a greater risk of getting dehydrated, because they warm up more during physical activities, but they do not perspire as much as the adults do. Being incapable of restoring their body temperature, the thirst sensation appears long after the water loss occurs. By the time the child feels thirsty, he may already be dehydrated. Children that exercise regularly are vulnerable, especially when they train on warm or humid weather or for long periods of time. Water is the best liquid that children should consume, better than sweetened drinks. Children’s appetite is the only one that has to suffer because of the exaggerated consumption of sodas, even natural ones.

Water and women’s health. Water consumption is especially important for women, because women perspire more profusely than men. As a result, there is a greater loss of mineral substances, such as calcium. A woman drinks 1, 6 l of water every day, a needed quantity for a moderate effort. Water consumption supports the body's youth and helps maintain the figure. This is what happens: in case there isn't enough water in the body, the digestion process is slower and toxic substances take longer to eliminate, staying in the body for a longer period of time. They have to be eliminated one way or the other and this is when rashes, pimples and other unpleasant signs appear on the skin. If the digestion is not properly done, the nutrients are not processed or assimilated properly, which leads to the deposits of fat.
