Your Body and WaterEverybody knows the human

body needs water to survive.But what does water do foryou, exactly?

The average adult’s body isabout 60 percent water,two-thirds of it contained in cells.Water plays a crucial role in theformation of cells, which areoften called the building blocksof life. Simply speaking, withoutwater, there is no human life.

Most of the human body’smajor systems depend on waterto function. Water deliversoxygen and nutrients throughoutthe body, lubricates joints,flushes out waste and toxins, andregulates the body’s internaltemperature. The brain, spinalcord and other organs areinsulated with water, which actsas a shock absorber and helpsprevent injury.

Water makes swallowing anddigestion possible and alsometabolizes proteins andcarbohydrates into energy. Infact, just a 5 percent decreasein body fluids can cause a30 percent drop in a person’senergy level. So, instead ofdrinking coffee or othercaffeinated beverages, whichcontribute to dehydration, thekey to feeling more energeticmay be to drink more water.

Adults need between2 and 3 liters of water everyday, but some of this watercan come from food. Freshfruits and vegetables areespecially hydrating.

Blazing a TV TrailStories of the Old West have

captivated audiences for decades,first in books, then radio and movies,and later on television. Saddle up for alook at some popular TV Westernsof yesteryear.

“Hopalong Cassidy.” It was 1949when Hopalong Cassidy rode in fromthe big screen and became the star ofTV’s first Western series, as well as apop culture phenomenon. AlthoughHoppy dressed in black, he was agood guy, along with his trusty whitehorse, Topper.

“Death Valley Days.” This radioshow became a TV series in 1952 andwas unique because it featured storiesbased on actual events from Old Westdays in Death Valley, Calif. Itsepisodes were introduced by hosts,which included Stanley Andrews (theOld Ranger) and Ronald Reagan.

“Gunsmoke.” For two decadesbeginning in 1955, viewers of thisfrontier drama tuned in to follow thelives of Dodge City, Kan., MarshalMatt Dillon, his deputy, Festus, andtownsfolk Doc and Miss Kitty.“Gunsmoke” is often the mostcelebrated of the TV Western genre.

“Bonanza.” The Cartwright clan—father Ben and sons Adam, Hoss andJoe—owned and operated the vastNevada ranch called the Ponderosa.“Bonanza” ran from 1959 to 1973 andwas one of the first TV shows to befilmed and broadcast in color.
