By Dr HS PremaTalk to fitness and health freaks, they will boast about the protein, vitamin and mineral supplements they take. But rarely do they talk about water. That is the truth. People ignore the health benefits of water. Maybe because it is available for a penny and maybe because the poor and the rich drink the same colourless, odourless liquid. To sum it up, water doesn't have a fashion quotient attached to it. Though water as a food appears unattractive, it is the single-largest nutrient of the human body and has innumerable roles to play.Water as a nutrient is biologically very active and provides form and structure to the cells. It controls the entire physiological process of humans. It is an essential component of all body tissues.When outdoor temperature is more, the body sweats to keep it cool. To replenish the loss of water, we have to drink more of it. People who work outdoors must carry water with them and keep drinking it. When water is lost, sodium and potassium are also lost, causing mineral imbalance.If water along with sodium and potassium is not replenished, one feels dizzy , loses orientation and finally may end up in sunstroke. Loss of 20% of water may be fatal. People working in AC rooms too should drink water. In any temperature, water from the body will be lost in the form of perspiration.Knowingly or unknowingly, we consume toxins. They need to be eliminated by the body to continue normal physiological functions. Water takes up the toxins (metabolic wastes) from blood and eliminates through kidneys in the form of urine. Liver separates the toxins consumed orally and passes the responsibility to water to eliminate. Water in turn detoxes in the form of faeces. Toxins consumed through air will be accumulated in the passage of the alveolar and water with the help of gas pushes out the toxins through lungs.As a solvent, it carries solutes for the cell function and is the medium for all reactions.As we Indians lose a lot of water, we need to drink at least 3 to 4 litres in a day . This water can be in any form of liquid, such as rasam, soup, juices, tender coconut, etc., but milk is not a substitute for water. People should not confuse carbonated drinks with water, as these chemical liquids do not do any good to the body . Instead they harm by adding toxins.People think bottled and branded waters are better than tap water. This is a myth. The best water to drink is to boil tap or well water, put a few pieces of charcoal, keep it overnight and drink in a silver or copper tumbler like a king. Spring water with minerals dissolved in it has health benefits and is the best water among all.Water should not be consumed more than the volume of body fluids and that is 5 litres for an average human body . But, during summer, Indians can drink 5 litres of water spread through the day . If one consumes more than the volume of body fluids at one stretch, it will end up in hyponatremia, which can be fatal.(The writer is MD and Consultant Dietician & Nutritionist, Varenya Nutrition Concepts, Bengaluru

Why didn't most pioneers ride in their wagons?

People didn't ride in the wagons often, because they didn't want to wear out their animals. Instead they walked alongside them, getting just as dusty as the animals. The long journey was hard on both people and animals. It was even hard on the wagons, which usually had to be repaired several times during the trip.

End of the Oregon Trail

A Local Legacy

Why are those three covered wagons surrounded by a fence? If you look closer you'll see that they aren't the kind of covered wagons you can ride in. They are being used as a canopy for the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center, a museum devoted to the history of the Oregon Trail. The Oregon Trail was a route used by people who traveled to Oregon Country, which is what Oregon was called before it became a state in 1859. The Oregon Trail was the most popular way to get to Oregon Country from about 1843 through the 1870s. The trail started in Missouri and covered 2,000 miles before ending in Oregon City. Most people moving west traveled in covered wagons, which were large enough for all their belongings as well as the food they needed for a journey that could take months. The wagons also provided shelter from the weather. Teams of oxen or mules pulled the wagons along the dusty trail. People didn't ride in the wagons often, because they didn't want to wear out their animals. Instead they walked alongside them, getting just as dusty as the animals. The long journey was hard on both people and animals. It was even hard on the wagons, which usually had to be repaired several times during the trip. To help remember the hardships these pioneers faced, Oregon City constructed this museum so others could learn about the lives and experiences of these pioneers.
