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.

El agua es una bebida que necesitamos todos los días. Es clara y no sabe a nada. Pero el agua es súper importante para que nuestros cuerpos funcionen bien. Bebemos agua para saciar nuestra sed y para mantenernos saludables.

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.

La gente ha estado bebiendo agua desde la antigüedad. En los viejos tiempos, bebían agua de ríos y pozos. Sabían que el agua era buena para ellos, aunque no entendían por qué.

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.

Hoy en día, podemos obtener agua de muchos lugares. Podemos beberla del grifo en nuestros hogares, o podemos comprar botellas de agua en las tiendas. Algunas personas añaden sabores a su agua, como limón o fresa, para mejorar su sabor.

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.

Beber agua tiene muchos beneficios. Nos ayuda a mantenernos hidratados, lo que significa que evita que nuestros cuerpos se sequen demasiado. Cuando estamos hidratados, nos sentimos mejor y tenemos más energía. El agua también ayuda a nuestro cuerpo a eliminar desechos y toxinas.

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.

A veces, bebemos otras cosas en lugar de agua, como jugo o refresco. Estas bebidas pueden ser sabrosas, pero a menudo tienen mucha azúcar y otras cosas que no son buenas para nosotros. El agua es la opción más saludable porque no tiene azúcar ni calorías.

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.

Es importante beber suficiente agua todos los días. Los médicos dicen que debemos beber alrededor de 8 vasos de agua, pero puede ser diferente para cada persona. Debemos escuchar a nuestro cuerpo y beber cuando tengamos sed.

1.7

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

**Dato curioso**: ¿Sabías que el agua constituye aproximadamente el 60% de nuestro cuerpo? ¡Eso es más de la mitad!
