Proper Water Consumption
Specific Goal: By the end of my speech, my audience will consume more water.
Introduction
- How many of you have ever experienced extreme thirst and/or dehydration?
- Did you know that humans can survive for four to six weeks without food but only three to five days without water (Mayo Clinic, 2012).
III. This is because the human body is comprised of anywhere between 55-78% water (Wallace, 2005).
Thesis Statement (Central Idea): After becoming familiar with the amounts of water that the human body uses during various activities, the health benefits that result from proper water consumption, and just how easy it is to drink more water, my audience will consume more water.
Body
- The human body uses varying amounts of water, based on activity level.
- Even when you are not engaging in physical activity, the body still uses a significant amount of water on a daily basis.
- We lose about one liter of water per day from breathing, perspiring and bowel movements.
- The average human requires a urine output of 1.5 liters per day to function properly (Mayo Clinic, 2012).
- The body requires more water when you engage in even moderate physical activitiy.
- Under normal conditions, the body uses about eight ounces of water an hour during moderate physical activity such as walking.
- Thirty-one percent of the respondents to my survey reported that they do not exercise.
- During extreme physical activity, water usage increases significantly.
- Under normal conditions, the body uses about 24 ounces (one liter) of water an hour during intense exercise (Mayo Clinic, 2012)
- The body perspires during extreme physical activity.
- The body emits sweat to maintain its body temperature.
- Sweat is comprised of about 98% water (U.S.D.H.H., 2010).
- Fifty percent (eight) of the respondents to my survey report that they exercise one to two days per week.
- There are health benefits that result from proper water consumption.
- The body uses water to maintain normal body functions.
- Water is expelled from the lungs in the form of water vapor during respiration.
- An adult body requires about five liters of blood to function properly; muscles are 75% water, bones are 22% water, the brain is 74% water, and blood is 83% water (U.S.D.H.H., 2010).
- Plasma circulates the dissolved nutrients in the bloodstream, such as glucose, amino acids and fatty acids to cells (U.S.D.H.H., 2012).
- Plasma also removes waste products such as carbon dioxide, urea and lactic acid (Johnson, 2008).
- Blood plasma is about 92% water (Johnson, 2008).
- Without water, the blood would not maintain its pH level, resulting in it not being able to function properly (Johnson, 2008).
- The human liver is about 96% water.
- The liver uses water to convert fat into energy for the body (Johnson, 2008)
- The more pure water that is made available to the liver, the more it is able to function properly (Johnson, 2008).
- The body uses water for detoxification.
- This is the body’s only way to wash out toxins and avoid disease (Centers for Disease Control, 2008).
- We are exposed to toxins and chemicals on a daily basis (Centers for Disease Control, 2008).
- Proper water intake is essential for disease prevention (Centers for Disease Control, 2008).
- It keeps the digestive system working properly and allows it to flush out waste products.
- Improper water consumption can result in autoimmune conditions, such as arthritis and allergies (Mayo Clinic, 2012).
- ).
III. It is simple to drink more water.
- Calculate the amount of water needed based on your lifestyle.
- Water needs will vary based on weight and activity level (Wallace, 2005).
- Consume at least 64 ounces (two liters) of water per day.
- Men should consume about three liters per day.
- Woman should consume a little over two liters per day.
- Increase this amount based on your activity level.
- Fifty percent (eight) of the respondents to my survey reported that they exercise regularly.
- Only 12% (2) of the respondents to my survey reported that they exercise regularly.
1) Thirty-seven percent (6) of the respondents consume only 16 ounces of water per day.
2) Thirty-two percent (5) of the respondents consume 17 to 32 ounces of water per day.
3) One respondent reported no daily water consumption.
- Increase water intake in warmer climates.
- When you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated.
- Increase water consumption to 2.5 liters if you are pregnant and 3.0 liters if you are nursing (Wallace, 2005).
- Eighty-two percent (14) of the respondents to my survey are females.
- Only 17% (2) of the respondents to my survey are males.
- Avoid caffeinated and alcoholic beverages.
- 71% (10) of the respondents to my survey reported no alcohol consumption.
- 62% (10) of the respondents to my survey reported that they consume caffeinated beverages.
- These beverages contribute very little to maintaining the proper water level in the body.
- Keep water on your person at all times.
- Carry bottled water or tap water using a container.
- To curb the taste, keep water cold and use lemon or lime.
- Drink on quart of water when you awaken in the morning and again before bedtime.
- This will allow you to wake up feeling better with your body functioning as it should.
- This accounts for half a liter of water.
- Measure how much water you consume throughout the course of the day.
- Employ a one to one consumption ratio with other beverages.
Conclusion
- Our bodies use varying amounts of water during various activities.
- There are health benefits that result from proper water consumption.
III. There are simple steps that can be used to drink more water.
- Drink more water today!
