We are predominantly built on H20 & fat reserves.
Imagine a 140 lb athletic male:
~ 114.8 lbs is built entirely on H20 & fat reserves.
~ 25.2 lbs would then be the total mass of what actually needs to be “fed”.
These few active lbs should be fed rich sources to fuel our Human; water is fundamentally the silicon transmission source of all activity: mineral dense & glass bottled.
Adult men (normal weight > 65yrs) ~ 60%
Adult women (normal weight > 65yrs) ~ 50% - 55%
Highly lean (athletic) ~ can approach 65% - 70%
1L = 2.205 lb
1KG = 2.205 lb
Thirst, urine color, and body mass change are better guides than any fixed number.
Total daily “baseline” loss ~ 2.2 - 2.8 L
Exercise, hot, humid weather ~ 3 - 4 L
(elite athletes > 10 L)
Men ~ 12 - 24%
Women ~ 25 - 31%
Varies by sex, height, age, and ethnicity.
Honey never spoils—archaeologists have found pots of edible honey in ancient Egyptian tombs over 3,000 years old, thanks to its low moisture and acidic pH.
1 – 9 hours — Metabolism & first half‑life
Because of genetics and health factors, half‑lives as short as 1.5 h or as long as 9.5 h have been documented.
10 – 15 hours — Two & three half‑lives
After two half‑lives roughly 25 % of the original caffeine remains; after three, about 12 %.
Many people are still sensitive to this amount, which is why sleep researchers study the correlation of rest stability.
