Dihydrogen minoxide, H2O, water; we cannot live without it. It is essential for life on earth for all living things. Clean water has long been exalted for one’s health. Many studies have backed this claim. A recent study in Journal of the American Medical Association compiled the findings of many studies with conclusions of its benefits.
Water is a chemical substance with the formula H2O. Water is made up of molecules. A water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Humans are 60% water. Water is the main component of blood and 75% of the brain. Similarly, the earth is approximately 71% water. Like the water cycle of the earth, our bodies use water to deliver necessary nutrients.
In old movies and books, when a woman is in the throws of labor, someone always hollers for boiling water and towels. Boiled and subsequently sterilized water has historically been used as a disinfectant for the body and medical instruments. Other creatures in nature use water to drink, clean and bathe or live in it or nearby. Water from other sources such as streams, springs and rivers must be boiled before drinking.
