...Benefits of Drinking Water Most people know that drinking water is essential to human life. Without it, the human body will shut down and experience life-threatening health problems, or even death. However, many people tend to forget just how important water is to staying healthy and fit. The fact is, anyone who adopts a fitness regimen needs to understand just how important water is to a great workout and the role it plays in achieving optimal physical results. Working out will make you thirsty, but be sure you are drinking enough to compensate for your exercise? During one hour of intense exercise, the average person can lose a full quart of water just by sweating. To prevent dehydrating, it is a good idea to drink one glass of water for every twenty minutes of exercise. If you know you are prone to sweating a lot, you should be sure to drink even more. Drinking water during exercise is extremely important. However, it is just as important to drink water before and after a workout as well. If you are planning on a tough workout session, you should drink 3-4 glasses of water in the 3 hours before you start sweating. If your muscles are not hydrated when you begin working out, they will be more prone to cramping and injury. Dehydration is also linked to muscle soreness, so be sure your muscles are nice and hydrated before you start. After your workout, you will want to rehydrate your body with even more water. The optimal time for this is within the first two hours...

...Tourist Attractions On the agenda of every trip to Moscow is a trip to Red Square, the historic core of the Russian capital. All important streets start here. St. Basil’s cathedral was built in the 16th century by Ivan the Terrible. It has nine small colorful domes with chapels. The Kremlin Palace is a large fortress that was once the residence of the Russian tsars. Today it is the official residence of the Russian president. Unfortunately, however, tourists are only allowed to see the outside walls of the palace. The Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts shows objects from the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece and Rome as well as paintings of famous European artists. Modern architecture includes Lenin’s mausoleum and the GUM shopping mall. Boat trips along the Moskva River offer a completely different view of Moscow. You can see the city’s most interesting features while enjoying a comfortable ride. The famous Bolshoi Theatre is a historic theatre in Moscow that holds performances of opera and a world – class ballet. It was founded in the 18th century and has been undergoing restoration for some years. The State History Museum has an enormous collection covering the whole Russian empire from the time of the Stone Age. The building, dating from the late 19th century, is itself an attraction – each room is in the style of a different period or region, some with highly decorated walls echoing old Russian churches. Reopened in 1997, each year sees the addition of a few more Galleries...

...Dear CPCC President, Dr.Tony Zeiss As an international student in CPCC, I just want to express my sincere appreciation to you for being a strong leadership. CPCC is a great school where I can receive quality academic instruction in a good environment. Thank you for your supporting that I can learn education system based on the development technologies and professional skills. However, there are some problems that may exist at CPCC and I am not satisfied with them at all. The first thing is that I have a parking problem at school and it happens to me many times. The parking lot is so terrible, sometimes I try to get to school early but it takes me 20 minutes to find a spot and I’ve had to miss class. I have to circle the parking lot over and over and people get so irritated. I see two people waiting for the same parking spot and nobody is willing to budge . Finally, I have to park far away from my campus and walk to school. That is really bad, isn’t it? I think it is necessary to find the best solution to this problem. The second issue is the textbooks cost high so students can not afford to buy the book. I wonder that why they cost a lot since I already pay extremely high tuition rates. Apparently, textbooks cost more than 200 dollars on each semester. Some people may be unable to attend class because of the costs too high. They spend more hours working to cover the cost, therefore they might get bad grades on the exams. As a student at CPCC, I think books should be...

...Benefits of Drinking Water Grace N. Lewis SCI/220 April 6, 2011 Dr. Charles Flowers Benefits of Drinking Water There are numerous benefits to consuming water. Water is vital to maintaining excellent health. Just as humans need air or oxygen to breathe and survive, we also need water. Water is the most needed element to an individual’s survival. Without water, a human being survives only for a couple of days. All of the human cells depend on water to function. Drinking water improves many health conditions. Some health conditions they improve are toxins removal, exhaustion, circulation, and hypertension to name a few. The consumption of plenty water is also good for the kidneys. One’s kidneys filter out waste and toxins from the body. The kidneys need water to perform that action. Water is the base for several things that occurs in the body. Water is the base for the digestion and absorption of food. Without water being the base, food would be hard to break down. Water is also the base of saliva and the fluids surrounding the joints. Water is the base for regulation of body temperatures and blood circulation. Water helps prevent diseases such as colon, bladder, and breast cancers. Drinking water also improves muscle functions and reduces joint pain. Water makes up the largest volume of blood, lubricates the joints, and helps the lungs filter hazardous material from the air. Drinking water can relieve the retention of water. Sufficient amounts of water assist...

...Drink Water, Lose the Soda Did you know that two-thirds of our bodies are water? Every part of our body needs water to function. This includes our organs brain, skin, and cells. That is why drinking water is so important. If our bodies do not get enough water, we get dehydrated. That means our cells do not have the water they need to carry food and oxygen. You might get a headache and maybe even feel dizzy. To avoid dehydration, drink liquids. Water is the best choice for liquids. It is much better than drinking soda. First of all, water does not add calories. Soda pop often does on a person’s body. Since people say kids are heavier than ever before, this is enough of a reason to choose water over soda! The second good reason to choose water is that it has no chemicals. Diet soda has chemicals like fake sugars and dyes. Scientists suspect that large quantities of these chemicals can cause health problems. Lastly, water is a good choice because it doesn’t have an ingredient called a “diuretic”. Diuretics make your body flush out water. These things are diuretics. Caffeine is a diuretic and is in a lot of the soda pops are the market today. If you drink diuretics, your body has less water. That defeats the purpose of drinking, don’t you think? Finally, in many health education classes today, teachers would recommend drinking water instead of soda pop. Drinking a healthy amount of water is vital to your health. You can never imagine just by changing this...

...Diet Soda, Good or Bad? Edward Muna COMM/215 August 22, 2011 Mary Ann Troy Diet Soda, Good or Bad? Would you like some water? No thanks, what do you have that is diet? One of the easiest ways to lose weight and control calories is by switching to something diet. On average, a normal soda pop runs roughly around 150 to 200 calories per can, and that depends on the size. Remember the movie, “Supersize Me”. So you decided a long time ago to go with artificial sweeteners and after a while you didn’t even notice the difference between the two. You get zero calories and sometimes zero carbs and both taste buds and body are happy. It is a win-win situation. Not so fast. Drinking excessive amounts of diet soda may increase the risk of disease; therefore we should drink healthy drinks instead of artificially sweetened beverages. Disease and Health Risks Diet soda is harmful and produces dangerous side effects. Heavy diet drinkers may increase their risk of serious diseases. A new study by US researchers links diet soda to increased risk of vascular events (including ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, which is caused by rupture of a weakened blood vessel), though reasons are still unclear. The scientists said people who drank diet soda every day had a 61 per cent higher risk of vascular events than those who did not. Does this mean that there's something in diet sodas that hurts our blood vessels? Nobody knows the answer to that question yet. Investigators...

...Aquifers provide drinking water to millions of people in the United States. Aquifers are also a source of water for industrial and agricultural uses. More must be done to protect this resource. Currently we are seeing the depletion and contamination of this precious resource. Chemicals we put on our lawns to chemical spills are leading to the contamination of the United States’ aquifers. Over pumping of the aquifers is also another growing problem. As the population of countries is increasing, so is the amount of water needed to satisfy the population. If countries are not careful about the consumption and contamination of these aquifers, we could be on the verge of losing our water supply that is used for drinking and farming. Contributing factors and those affected Sadly the thing that is contributing most to this problem is the very thing that can fix it and that is humans. Also, it is the people around the world that are affected by the depletion of our aquifers. The increase in the demand for water is directly related to the increased population around the world. Water drilling is far exceeding the ability of the aquifers to replenish themselves. The world is taking too much. Unfortunately, many times it is not known until one sees that the well is actually already dry. What most people do not see is the link between the amount of water we have and food. Seventy percent of all water is used for farming irrigation. The other two sectors of competing water use are residential...

First of all, on environmental levels, tap water drinking fountains superior the other options.

...William Haley Hydraulic Fracturing: Is Safe As Is and Is Essential to the Nations Interests September 17, 2014 Global Business Responsibility and Ethics – BUSI 2328.06 Hydraulic Fracturing: Is Safe as is and is Essential The need to preserve energy is an issue that is of growing importance. In order to fulfill this need, attention has been aimed at discovering alternative resources in the oil and gas industry by utilizing methods of hydraulic fracturing. The process of hydraulic fracturing is by no means a new technique, having been used in oil and gas wells throughout the United States since 1947. Hydraulic Fracturing is an extremely efficient technique used in the extraction of oil gas and other fluids. The process involves injecting high-pressure fluids, containing sand or a similar substance, into the earth, creating fractures hundreds of feet long that branch out from a central drill hole. The fractures are held open by the substance in the fluids being injected, increasing the permeability, which allows the oil and gas to effortlessly flow through and into the well where it is then extracted. Fracturing has been continuously evolving due to innovations and advances in technology. An example of this growth is the introduction of horizontal drilling in the early 2000s which has allowed access to oil, gas, and shale reserves that were previously unobtainable by earlier methods or reserves that were not economically viable to develop. Hydraulic Fracturing is an...

Water is a transport of nutrients in the biochemical break down of what we eat. H2O regulates body temperature, it has a large heat capacity which helps limit changes in body temperature in a warm or cold environment. The elimination of water is an effective lubricant around joints and acts as a shock absorber for eyes, brain, and spinal cord. The goal of drinking fluids during exercise is to prevent dehydration and maintain performance. Fluids preferably with carbohydrates and electrolytes, should be consumed in small amounts every 15 to 20 minutes during exercise. Water and electrolytes serve very important roles in the functioning of the body and sweating can lead to excessive losses of both critical nutrients if not properly replaced. Dehydration and electrolyte imbalances can adversely impact health and exercise performance. The magnitude of fluid...
