Answer to Question 1
Experts agree that chronic degenerative diseases and other health concerns caused at least in part by poor diet represent some of the United States' most serious and pressing public health issues. More than 13 percent of Americans now have cardiovascular disease (the leading cause of death), 30 percent have high blood pressure, and 12 percent have type 2 diabetes. Fortunately, consuming a healthy balance of nutrients, phytonutrients, and zoonutrients can decrease your risk of developing all these conditions. Indeed, as the occurrence of chronic diseases increases, it is ever more important to pay attention to what you eat throughout your entire life. As the old saying goes, An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Or perhaps, stated most succinctly and accurately by Sir Francis Bacon more than 400 years ago, Knowledge is power.
Answer to Question 2
Humans typically consume water every day, whether as a beverage or in the foods we eat. The functions of water are varied and vital. More specifically, water functions as the transporter of nutrients, gases, and waste products; as the fluid in which chemical reactions occur; and acts as a partner in many chemical reactions needed for our body to function. Water is also important in regulating body temperature and protecting internal organs from damage.
