Everyone Needs a Little H2O Ever since the beginning of time water has been important. Water has been important because it is one of the most abundant substance on Earth. Water is important because every living thing contains water, and every living thing must have water to function. Water is important whether it is e drunk a supper or if it is being used for survival in the desert. Water is important because it is required for man to live, breath and thrive on this planet. In the article, “How Much Water Do We Actually Need,” J. Lunn and R. Foxen state, “Water is an essential requirement for life- without water, humans can only survive for 2 to 3 days at the most”(336). In addition to water being essential for life, it also has many …show more content…
Prehydration 2. Hydration 3. Dehydration 4. Rehydration” (Okanovic et al. 69). These four phases indicate when the athlete should hydrate. Prehydration and hydration are similar because both refer to hydrating before competition. While prehydration refers to hydrating a few days before a competition, hydration refers to hydrating throughout the day of the competition (Okanovic et al. 69-70). Dehydration is the loss of water from the body. While Prehydration and hydration have to do with hydrating prior to competition, rehydration is rehydrating the body after a competition (Okanovic et al. 70). Dehydration is a serious condition and should not be taken lightly While the body not having enough water is a big issue for athletes, too much water can also be a problem. In the article, How Much Water Do We Actually Need, it states, “If an individual consumes too much water, this can lead to water intoxication with potentially life-threatening hyponatraemia (Lunn and Foxen 336-337). While an athlete should be careful on over consuming water, an athlete also needs to consume enough water to last throughout a competition. Laura Purcell in her article, Sports Nutrition for Young Athletes, Laura Purcell states, “Before activity, athletes should consume 400ml to 600ml of cold water 2 h to 3 h before their event” (Purcell). While four hundred to six hundred milliliters may not seem like a lot of water,
All throughout an athletes life they are told to drink plenty of water, and replace their fluids. Athletes are told this enough to the point where it makes numbs them since they heard it so many times to the point where they forget the extreme importance of proper hydration, proper hydration. Proper hydration is not only key to optimum health, but also to great performance. Athletes are told to drink plenty of water, but do they really know why? It is this writer’s opinion that a greater understanding of proper hydration can lead to better health and performance for athletes and help spread awareness for dehydration and over hydration.
The Great Dehydration was a result of a stomach virus which apparently caused the body to lose water. As the body lost water, water moved out of the cells in attempt to keep solute concentrations balanced across the cell membrane. Sports drinks contain water as well as “electrolytes” like
It is evident that healthy adults running a marathon that replaces with only free water will run into pathophysiology challenges that will affect performance. Adequate fluid intake is crucial for prolonged, strenuous exercises to maintain adequate hydration, thermoregulation, maintain plasma volume and avoid dehydration (Duvillard et al, 2004). Although athletes are prone to hydrate as much as they can during extensive marathons, research shows that fluid replacement with only free water or even hypotonic beverages can be detrimental.
In an article titled, “Obey your thirst, just not necessarily with a sports drink” written by Jennifer Sygo, many claims are made towards drinking water over sports drinks. Sygo informs the reader that the only time a person should drink a sports drink is when they are doing a lengthy workout; typically two hours or more. Other than that, the average person should not be drinking as many sports drinks as people do today.
When the people hear the word war they think of guns, soldiers, and death. The world war 1 was a total war for North Carolina, even before the United States declared war on Germany in April 1917. When America entered the conflict, there was a good outburst of patriotism. The response to the patriotism, the American’s went for the military service. America’s numbers however were to small to build the army that they needed to fight in the war. In this essay about the steps America took on the homefront to prepare to fight World War 1, you will learn about the drafts, the raise in the army with the public and how they got their men. The last thing you will learn about in this essay is about the Zimmerman Telegram.
ABSTRACT. This paper seeks to reject Socrates ' arguments against Thrasymachus ' account of the just and unjust in Plato 's Republic, and, in doing so, show that Thrasymachus ' account is in fact a coherent and plausible account of justice. I begin by describing the context of Socrates and Thrasymachus ' argument and what it would take for Socrates to overcome the Thrasymachian account. I then describe the Thrasymachian account and argue for its coherence. I attack the Socratic method of deconstructing Thrasymachus ' argument and show that Thrasymachus true argument remains unaddressed throughout the course of the their exploration and Republic as a whole. I conclude that Thrasymachus – although himself unaware – succeeds in proposing a plausible and defensible account of justice and that Socrates misleads both Thrasymachus and the reader to advance his own conception of justice.
Water is one of the most important elements on Earth and also for our body. We need water to work and function properly and well. Without enough supply of water, our body will grind to a halt and collapse.
There is also a test you can give yourself to check if you are hydrated or dehydrated. This test is called a skin turgor (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000982.htm#Signs%20and%20tests). This is performed by pulling the skin on the back of your hand, and observes how long it takes for your skin to return to normal. If your skin remains in a pinched type form, your body is dehydrated. Another test you can use to determine if you are hydrated or not, is to take a sample of your urine and see if it’s a dark shade of yellow. If it is, you are not drinking enough water to hydrate your body. For the Cerritos College Wrestling team we needed to take a hydration test, which determines how much weight we are allowed to lose during the season. For this test, physicians took a urine sample then tested the color of it with a magnifying machine.
Water is just as important as air, it is a basic need for life, ever since the
Hydration with water and other water-based liquids is critical for survival and functioning of the body’s organs. Water is 60% of the total human body composition. Water is involved in the
The major reason anyone drinks fluid before, during and after physical activity is to replace the water that is lost through sweat. If the water isn't replaced dehydration will occur and performance will be hampered. The purpose of sports drinks is to help rehydrate your body quickly and help improve performance and productivity. This is accomplished through a well-balanced mix of water, sugar (carbohydrates) and salts (electrolytes), the major ingredients in most sports drinks. These ingredients, combined with a variety of fruit flavours, create pleasant tasting drinks that, according to the companies, are suppose to help your athletic performance. Results prove that commercial sport drinks generally accomplish what they set out to do.
Water is essential for life as we know it on earth. It is used by plants
Water is considered as an essential for human existence. We all can survive without food for some day but no one can live without water at least two days. Human body consists of 70% percent of water and our globe is covered by 69.9% percent of water. But unfortunately the useable fresh water is just 2.5% out of it. Water is a social good, water is an economic good, water has ecological value and water has religious, moral and cultural value.
Other than the symptoms inside the body dehydration causes blood to be thicker as a consequence the body would have to work much harder to be able to circulate blood, blood circulation is certainly important as the best muscle warmer is circulation during warm-up at the beginning of a performance to prevent injury. In dancing dancers must learn the choreographies so it is important that their brain functions well, dehydration affects the brain by making it less active, making it hard to concentrate and they can feel
Water is our main source of our life. We need it to live, drink, bathe,
