Ok, here are the answers you have been waiting for.

1. What percent of the human body is composed of water?
The percentage of water in your body depends on your age and how much body fat you have. Most adults fall in the 50 to 80 percent range.

2. How long can the average person survive without water?
A person can survive without food for about a month but is unlikely to survive without water for more than five to seven days.

3. Caffeinated beverages make you dehydrated.
False. Caffeinated drinks like coffee, tea and cola promote urination, but they are not actually dehydrating. They are less hydrating, however, than water and should not be included as part of your daily water quota. (The same goes for alcohol.)

4. Which of the following beverages is most hydrating?
Now that you’ve read the answer to question 3, you know cola’s out. Milk is more hydrating, but juice wins the prize (though it’s still not as hydrating as water).

5. Who needs to drink more water, men or women?
Men generally need more water, because they tend to weigh more and have more lean muscle tissue.

6. Solid food provides your body with how much water, on average, per day?
In an average diet, food provides about 3-4 cups of water daily. The Weight Watchers recommendation to drink at least six cups of water daily assumes you’ll be getting additional water from solid food. The amount in some foods may surprise you: A half cup of broccoli is 91 percent water, a baked potato 71 percent!

7. There’s no such thing as drinking too much water.
False. Water is good for you, but drinking too much can lead to a water imbalance called water intoxication, a serious health condition. Everyone’s needs are different, depending on weight, sex, activity level and more, but if you have any concerns about getting the right amount of water for you, it’s a good idea to discuss the topic with your physician.

8. How much water does the average person lose each day through perspiration, urination and other bodily processes?
Ten cups of water are lost on a typical day through urination, perspiration, respiration and elimination of waste.

Sooooo, how did you do???

Sorry, Jill, I'm slipping. I didn't do up the spread sheet this time with everyone's results. I promise I will from now on. It IS kinda neat, not necessarily to grade everyone's papers but, to see how our thought trends match everyone else. I'm glad you enjoyed the quiz.
