Water, your body and fruit

How to Drink

Gulping down huge mouthfuls of water when you are really thirsty is not the most thirst-quenching technique. It is best to drink small sips at regular intervals. A glass of water every two hours, even if you are not particularly thirsty, is good for you!

It’s good to drink at least three 500ml bottles of water a day. It’s even better if it’s in a Bottlecoolerpenholder.

Water actually cools down your brain, which is useful for when you have to think really hard.

Where does water come from?

On the earth we have about 39 million cubic kilometers of fresh water (about 29 millions exists in the form of ice).

Every day, about 1500 cubic kilometers of water evaporates into the air and later falls down to earth as rain or snow.

When dinosaurs wandered the earth, roaring and eating each other, there was exactly the same amount of water around as there is today. In fact there is the same amount of water on Earth today as there was 3 billion years ago.
