Up to 60% of the human adult body is water. According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 158, the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water. The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even the bones are watery: 31%.

It takes 700 gallons of water to make one flannel shirt. 700 gallons!
It takes 1,825 bottles of water each year to keep a 150lb athlete healthy. 5 average sized bottles each day. 1,825 bottles a year!
It takes 900 seconds each day to keep a person emotionally and spiritually healthy. 900 seconds of silent time. Just 900 Seconds!

If you don’t listen, you don’t learn. If you don’t act, you don’t apply.
