There are many kinds of water. Steam and ice are 2 extremes. Water used to drink is liquid. Liquid water can be affected greatly by the way it is obtained. Distilled water is usually clear of toxins but is also devoid of minerals. Municipally treated water is not too risky from a microbial perspective but contains chlorine and possibly other water treatment and sewage contaminants. Municipal water treatment systems do not remove other waste water contaminants such as excreted drugs, metals, pesticides, insecticides, etc. This is why municipal systems that use deep artesian water are the safest. The best water is obtained from deep artesian wells, uncontaminated by human agency or biologic accidents, where it has filtered through many layers of stone, earth and rocks. The rain water you may drink is very much like distilled water, except it carries with it whatever contaminants are in the atmosphere.

The remaining 1% of Calcium is dissolved in blood and other fluids and is essential for maintaining healthy functioning of the heart, muscles, blood and nerves.
Calorie Intake for Men
When calculating how many calories you need in a given day, it is important to remember that the calorie intake for men will be different than the amount of calories women need. There are a few reasons for this, but the most important is weight.
The average woman weighs quite a bit less than the average man. It is an easily observed difference between men and women that has some important consequences with regards to calorie needs. A 125 lb woman that gets an average amount of exercise throughout the day will need about 2,000 calories.
Something to Enjoy Regularly
A diet is something that we eat or drink normally, and in some definition it becomes something that is provided for or enjoyed regularly. Diet can also mean restriction of a meal, or reducing calories for purpose of weight loss. While some of us live to eat, others may eat to live, especially those in famine wrought countries.
