The quote "All is born water, all is sustained by water." By Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe symbolizes how water is key for life. Throughout our entire lives, water plays many different roles in everyday tasks. The first years of life are centered around the consumption of liquids because at that point we are lacking in a set of pearly whites. At this point, a majority of what we consume is milk and things that have the more nutrients than water because we can not chew all kinds of food just yet. As we grow older, some people enroll their children in sports. Besides the delicious oranges and Caprisuns you get during half time, water is used to quench the undeniable thirst you have from the game. Even though it is tasteless, water quenches the thirst of many without a doubt. It balances your body fluids, which is a necessity. Water keeps your skin looking fresh and clean. Some athletes are Gatorade dependent when performing their sport, however water also has the power to energize muscles. Overall water obviously does more good than bad. We can go longer without food than we can without water, therefore water is an essential throughout everyone's lives.
