A Thirst For Safer Water 45 Runner circles earth to spread the word. Meet Leon Kirchner 51 Chamber music festival features composer. ues- tion: Dear Barb, m- mertime is coming and I'm concerned about dehydra- tion. Any suggestions? Joyce. nswer (Part 1 of 2): Dear Joyce, Water makes up ap- proximately 60% of body weight in healthy adults. Water provides the medium in which all the physical and chemical process- es of life take place. Water has no calories, and, con- sequently, provides no energy; however, people can survive weeks without food, but only a few -1 days without water. Water plays an important role in: • Regulating body tem- perature; • Carrying oxygen and nutrient to the cells; • Removing waste; • Cushioning joints; • Protecting organs and tissues. The thirst mechanism is usually an adequate guide for water intake, except in extreme heat, heavy exercise, excessive sweating, the ill, infants, and, occasionally, the elderly. Typically, an adult needs 1 milliliter (ml) of water per calo- rie eaten. So, if you intake 1,800 calories, you would need to intake 1,800 ml (divide ml by 29.5 to convert to fluid ounces), which = approximately 60 oz. of water. More on children and sports drinks next time.
