Healthy life

  Our use has a huge impact on the health of our lives. It provides the opportunity for a good and healthy life that gives longevity. This article discusses this and explains the importance of using and conserving clean water. 

   

Water is a major factor in the physical and mental well-being of human beings. According to HH Mitchell in the Journal of Biochemistry, about 60% of the human body is made up of water, making up 90% of the blood, 64% of the skin, 79% of the muscles and kidneys, and even the skin 31% of the bones. Also includes water. 

Doctors recommend that on average a person should consume 6-7 glasses of water, or about 2 liters, per day for a healthy life. It helps maintain hydration in the body. Mainly, it regulates the temperature in the body's musculoskeletal system and contributes to eliminating lactic acid and excess urea from the body, which accumulates due to excessive sweating due to activation. Prevents dehydration by allowing an uninterrupted flow of oxygen and other nutrients to the brain. It prevents mental activity as well as side effects such as headaches to maintain good mindfulness. Improves the condition of the excretory system and facilitates the process of excretion by preventing diseases such as constipation and hemorrhoids. The process of removing urea in the urinary system and the removal of chemicals that accumulate in the kidneys prevents the formation of stones in it and improves activity. More specifically, water helps to prevent dry, rough skin in the skin and helps to create a fresh and youthful surface skin and complexion. The necessity of water is different according to Age structure, Gender, and environmental causes. The medical opinion is that one can live up to 7 days without food but not more than 3 days without water helps to understand how important water is for human beings. 

    The use of dirty water contributes to many diseases and is affected by various microorganisms in the water and various harmful chemicals. Diarrhea is one of the major diseases affecting the world. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) estimates that it will not be able to meet the water needs of 300 million people in Asia and the Pacific and 2.2 billion people worldwide. This is especially the case in developing countries such as India and Sri Lanka, where kidney disease, cholera, diarrhea, and kidney stones are common. Although 71% of the world's volume is

water, less than 1% of water is available for drinking, making it a scarce and expensive commodity (in countries such as Singapore) due to factors such as development, urbanization, desertification, and pollution. Based on this, the people living in poor countries, in particular, have been adversely affected in meeting their basic needs. It has also threatened the survival of future generations as well as the needs of future generations.
