Water

Read a short passage about how the simplest drink became essential for life and well-being.

1.1

Water is a drink that we need every day. It is clear and tastes like nothing. But water is super important for our bodies to work well. We drink water to quench our thirst and to keep us healthy.

Voda je nápoj, který potřebujeme každý den. Je čirá a nemá chuť. Ale voda je super důležitá pro správné fungování našeho těla. Pijeme vodu, abychom uhasili žízeň a udrželi se zdraví.

1.2

People have been drinking water since ancient times. In the old days, they drank water from rivers and wells. They knew water was good for them, even though they did not understand why.

Lidé pijí vodu od pradávna. Ve starých dobách pili vodu z řek a studní. Věděli, že voda je pro ně dobrá, i když nechápali proč.

1.3

Nowadays, we can get water from many places. We can drink it from the tap in our homes, or we can buy bottles of water from stores. Some people add flavors to their water, like lemon or strawberry, to make it taste better.

V dnešní době můžeme získat vodu z mnoha míst. Můžeme ji pít z kohoutku v našich domovech, nebo si můžeme koupit lahve s vodou v obchodech. Někteří lidé přidávají do své vody příchutě, jako je citron nebo jahoda, aby chutnala lépe.

Water
1.4

Drinking water has many benefits. It helps us stay hydrated, which means it keeps our bodies from getting too dry. When we are hydrated, we feel better and have more energy. Water also helps our bodies get rid of waste and toxins.

Pití vody má mnoho výhod. Pomáhá nám zůstat hydratovaní, což znamená, že udržuje naše těla od přílišného vysychání. Když jsme hydratovaní, cítíme se lépe a máme více energie. Voda také pomáhá našemu tělu zbavit se odpadu a toxinů.

1.5

Sometimes, we drink other things instead of water, like juice or soda. These drinks can be tasty, but they often have lots of sugar and other things that are not good for us. Water is the healthiest choice because it has no sugar or calories.

Někdy pijeme jiné věci místo vody, jako je džus nebo soda. Tyto nápoje mohou být chutné, ale často obsahují hodně cukru a dalších věcí, které pro nás nejsou dobré. Voda je nejzdravější volbou, protože neobsahuje cukr ani kalorie.

1.6

It is important to drink enough water every day. Doctors say we should drink about 8 cups of water, but it can be different for everyone. We should listen to our bodies and drink when we are thirsty.

Je důležité pít každý den dostatek vody. Lékaři říkají, že bychom měli vypít asi 8 sklenic vody, ale může to být pro každého jiné. Měli bychom poslouchat své tělo a pít, když máme žízeň.

1.7

Fun fact : Did you know that water makes up about 60% of our bodies? That is more than half!

**Zajímavost**: Věděli jste, že voda tvoří asi 60% našeho těla? To je více než polovina!
