2.What can you say about

Like any other living things in the world, your
body needs water. You need water to survive. It is
an essential element that helps regulate your body
temperature and lubricates tour joints. It is also
flushes our waste through urine. Your body needs
at least 8 glasses of water every day.
Aside from the tap or bottled, water can be obtained
from the food and beverages you consume every day.
Water consumption depends also on the kind of food
your taking in. If you eat more dehydrated or dried and
salted foods, the more you need water to keep your
body hydrated. If you are drinking at least the minimum
volume of fluids in a day, then you are adequately
hydrated.
When you do moderate to vigorous physical activities out of door,
you have to deal with temperature. The hotter the temperature, the
more your body sweats out, it means you have started losing fluids
in your body. It is important to know that you should drink before
you get thirsty because by the time you will feel it, your body is
already dehydrating. Aside from sweating fluids are lost also when
urinating, defecating and breathing.
The more you exposed in high temperature,
especially when doing vigorous activities
that you do not normally do, the more you
easily get dehydrated. Always bring water
with you. Replace the fluid loss as much as
needed in order to function properly.
Direction: Write an essay about the importance of water to your life.
And as a student, what can you do to keep hydrated? How are you
going to impart to your family the knowledge you learned from this
lesson? _
