Seventy percent is often given as the percentage of water in the human body but it is not all the same. Younger people generally have a higher percentage of water. Thinner people have a higher percentage of water. Water also covers about 70 percent of the earth.

And finally, what besides water do I need to bring myself back to life this spring?
