Water is the one thing that we must give our bodies enough of or we will shrivel away into nothingness and die.

...around for many of years . The importance of advertisement is to promote the sales and products to seem more valuable than what they really are. Ads are used to give messages to different audience to make sells . By convincing the audience , the ad is trying to show why they are the best choice . By enhancing image , creating new logos and new catch phrases . Sidehustlenation.com says ,“SmartWater is vapor distilled water. From what I can understand, pretty much all water is vapor distilled, meaning it originally came from clouds.According to their website, most SmartWater is procured from municipal water systems. Read, “tap water.”Then the Smart Water goes through Glaceau’s proprietary filtration process, that removes just about everything from the water except two H’s and an O. SmartWater then adds back in the electrolytes calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and potassium bicarbonate for taste. I think the for taste part is important because the nutrition label still reads 0 mg of sodium, and the amounts of electrolytes added have essentially zero gatorade-effect. In fact, the amount of electrolytes found in SmartWater is less than in other brands of non-electrolyte-added” bottled waters. The reason why it is called Smartwater is because it’s business of course! Globally, bottled water is a $100 billion dollar industry. Glaceau has found a smart way to buy tap water for a national average price of $0.002/gallon, clean it up, and sell it for more than $5/gallon. A 250...

...Dehydration Marty Oliver SCI/241 Version 5 01/30/2012 Abstract I am writing a paper on the effects of dehydration. Included in this paper, I will be explaining the answer of why is water essential to health maintenance? What are the functions of water in the body? What happens to the body when it does not get the water it needs? I will also compare and contrast how different electrolytes-sodium, potassium, and chloride- function in the body. What effects might alcohol and caffeine have on hydration levels in the body? What steps may people take to ensure they do not become dehydrated? Your body cannot function without water. Your body is made up of over 2/3 of your body and is essential for all cells and organs to operate properly. Without it your body will be able to survive only a few days. One of the functions of water in the body is that it flushes toxins, helps in cell functioning, and it helps the throat, nose, and ears function. Water is the seat for the fluids that go around the joints which enables them to move easily without pain. Joints consist of synovial fluid, bursas, ligaments, tendons, synovial membranes, and cartilage. Water is a must for the body to perspire naturally. Sweating is the body’s instrument to maintain the body’s cool when presented with increased anxiety, high activity levels or more anxiety or excessive heat. The body will not decently sweat in response to these stimuli without proper water content. Water is essential...

...muscles and tissues.” There are two types of diabetes there is Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. The main difference between the two is Type 1 your body is unable to produce insulin, in Type 2 it can be cured through diet and exercise. Hypoglycemia is a major fear for among diabetics this is when you are low on blood sugar and this triggers symptoms such as: rapid/fast heartbeat, fatigue, headaches, shakiness, blurred vision, weakness, unconsciousness, etc. I did some research and found that there are actually people who are athletes that still are able to play a sport or even stay active. Team Novo Nordisk is a group diabetic athletes that compete each year in triathlons, cycling, and runners. They have competed in more than 500 events worldwide in 2014. Team Novo Nordisk started back in 2006 with only eight members now it is composed of 100 athletes from 20 different countries. The reason why the compete each year is not only to educate people about diabetes but also to inspire people with diabetes. Many of their athletes are great and have accomplished a lot in their life. Reading some of their stories are inspirational, for example Benny Madrigal is a teacher, a father, and a competitive athlete. He was diagnosed at 22 and he felt lost at first and didn’t know anything about diabetes. In the last five years since his diagnosis he has won a couple of races and has set...

...well, relaxing in warm water, and most importantly exercising and stretching the muscles out. First of all, something that a teen should be eating daily, according to faqs.org, are 2500- 2800 calories a day, 1200 milligrams of calcium a day, 45-60 grams of protein a day, 12-13 mg of iron, but girls need at least 15 mg because we have that time of the month. And also as the food pyramid shows, we should be eating things with grain, dairy, vegetables, and fruits the most. And things with meats & beans, and oil the least. Sleep is very important for anyone who wants to do well on a test or at a sport, as teenshealth.org explains, in one of their articles. We, teenagers, should be getting our nine hours and fifteen minutes of sleep each night. However, some people can survive with just eight and a half hours of sleep or less. For the same reason that we need to eat well and sleep well, we need to exercise. Exercising is a great way to stay healthy. Something I learned last year is that exercising can help prevent or ease the soreness you feel in your muscles. I used to think that exercising made the pain worse, but it actually helps because your muscles get used to exercising. The SAID (Specific Adaptation Imposed Demand) Principle is an acronym that describes the adaptations your body makes towards some kind of stress. This describes why exercise helps relieve the soreness in your muscles. If you get used to exercising, then sooner or later it won’t hurt anymore. A good...
