水为何如此重要

Why Is Water so Important?

翻译

Water is `virtually` everythere, from soil `moisture` and ice caps, to the cells inside our own bodies.

从土壤水分和冰盖，到我们体内打细胞，水几乎无处不在。

Depending on factors like location, fat index, age, and sex, the average human is between 55-65% water.

基于地理位置、脂肪指数、年龄和性别等因素，人类等平均含水量在55%-65%之间。

At birth, human babies are even wetter. Being 75% water, they are swimmingly `similar` to fish.

在出生时，人类婴儿甚至含水量更高。他们的含水量在75%，就像鱼一样。

But their water `composition` drops to 65% by their first birthday.

但到了他们一岁但时候，含水量下降到65%。

So what role dose water play in our bodies, and how much do we actually need to drink to stay healthy?

那么水在我们身体里扮演什么角色，我们到底需要喝多少水才能保持健康？

The H2O in our bodies works to `cushion` and `lubricate` joints, regulate temperatur, and to `nourish` the brain and `spinal` cord.

我们体内但水分可以起到缓冲和润滑关节，调节体温，滋养大脑和脊髓但作用。

Water isn't only in our blood.

水不仅仅存在与我们的血液中。

And adult's brain and heart are almost three quarters water. That's `roughly` equivalent to the amount of moisture in a banana.

一个成年人的大脑和心脏几乎四分之三是水，这大约相当于一根香蕉的水分含量。

Lungs are more similar to an apple at 83%. And even seemingly dry human bones are 31% water.

肺更像一个含水量83%的苹果。即使看起来很干的人类骨头也有31%是水。

If we `essentially` made of water, and surrounded by water, why do we need to drink so much?

如果我们基本上是由水构成的，被水包围着的，为什么我们还需要喝那么多水？

Well, each day we lose two to three liters through our sweat, `urine`, and `bowel` movements, and even just from breathing.

每天我们都要通过汗液、尿液和排便，甚至是呼吸而损失2到3升的水。

While these functions are essential to our survival, we need to `compensate` for the fluid loss.

这些功能对我们的生存至关重要，所以我们需要弥补体液损失。

Maintaining a balanced water level is essential to avoid `dehydration` or over-hydration, both of which can have `devastating` effects on overall health.

使身体维持一个均衡的水分对于避免脱水和水分过多是至关重要的，这两种情况都会对健康造成毁灭性的影响。
