100 Word Challenge
It was Tuesday and I was in my treehouse planning the invites for my Lightning McQueen birthday party. I was up there with my annoying kangaroo Bouncy and I was struggling to come up with rules. I was blind as a bat and I didn’t see the figure on the treehouse. I looked up and then I saw it, it was my Mum with the dino nuggies I requested. After I devoured a couple of the delicious dino nuggies the perfect rules for my birthday party came to me. No girls allowed and don’t dress up as Lightning, I’m Lightning.

Why do we need to Drink Water?
Why do we need to Drink Water?
Water makes up 73% of our brain and heart, but we still need to drink big amounts of it. Whether you just went for a run, got a dry throat, or perhaps you’re just thirsty water is often the best solution to your problem. On Earth water covers 71% of the planet, yet some people don't have enough water and they become dehydrated or worse.
Water is crucial to the survival of the human race and it does a lot for us. Water cushions and lubricates the joints between our bones, helps regulate our temperature and nourishes our spinal cord and brain. If you don’t drink enough water you’ll likely have a lack of energy and won’t be very productive.
Different people need different amounts of water. Depending on factors like your age and gender you might need to drink more than other people. Everyday we lose about three litres of water from sleeping, breathing and even going to the toilet.The average male needs to drink 2.5-3.7 litres a day while the average female only needs 2-2.7. We need to drink water because otherwise we might have drops in mood and blood pressure which could lead to dizziness and you could hurt yourself falling over.
Drinking water has many major health benefits. Water helps our brain function which is why it is so important for children to hydrate so they can learn easier. If you become dehydrated your brain can shrink, a dehydrated brain has to work harder to accomplish the same thing as a hydrated brain. However over hydrating or hyponatremia is just as bad. Overhydration can cause headaches, vomiting and sometimes even seizures and death.
Hydrating is not only important for survival, it is also helpful to learn with a hydrated brain. The average human is about 55-60% water, yet we can only survive without water for 3-4 days. You should constantly be aware of how much water you’re drinking because in some severe cases not hydrating could cost you your life.
