How Long Can a Person Live Without Water?

Book Abstract by: sallyhm    

Original Author: sneha vij

HOW LONG CAN PERSON LIVE WITHOUT  WATER ?

A  human being can live without
food over a month. But a person cannot live  for more than a week without water. To stay healthy, an average adult needs more than quarts of water each day. Our bodies get water in many forms_from the foods we eat as well from the foods we drink.
A part from liquids , most other things we eat also contain some amount of water. This is because every living thing has water in it. For instance, the human body contains 65 percent water. An apple is over 80 percent water, tomatoes and watermelon are more than 90 percent water while an ear of corn is almost 70 percent water.
