Bodies of Water

People have different percentages of water in their bodies
depending on age, gender and diet.

New born babies are comprised of the largest percentage
of water, at about 78%. By one year of age, that amount
reduces to about 65%.

Adult men have an average of 60% of water in their bodies.

Adult women carry about 55%.

Fat tissue does not hold as much water as lean tissue.  So
the more overweight a person is, the less water they are
comprised of.

Even an average percentage of water in the body should cause
concern over water quality issues.  If you have 60% water in your
body wouldn't you want it to be as pure as possible?
