Water is important to life

A person can live without food for about a month, but only about a week without water. If the amount of water in your body is reduced by just 1%, you'll feel thirsty. If it's reduced by 10%, you'll die.

I probably could go a long period of time without food, but I developed rage from not eating, so there is a possibility that someone else would not survive.

Hello Bieter, thanks you for the info. I drink a lot of water, we are coming out from a big drought in this region. My children are not used to drink as much water as I do, and sometimes they have heat hits. I´m must teach them to drink much more water to prevent dehydrataion. Thanks you for recalling me the fact. Blessings Bieter... dainy
