PLAYING VIDEO GAMES CAUSES CHILDREN ACT VIOLENTLY
PLAYING VIDEO GAMES CAUSES CHILDREN ACT VIOLENTLY
Based on the studies, the violent video games affect children concentration more than T.V. according to the website health.com. Edward Swung started with the investigation with children who play violent video games and the effects.
A lot of physiologists agree that children of elementary school who play violent video games more than 2 hours per day, have 67% more possibilities to develop attention problems, says The Pediatrics Magazine
The social skills of the children are affected because they develop violent behavior to other persons. They don’t distinguish reality from the fiction, so they act violently with their family and school.
My partners and I think the violent videogames played by children affect their mind and their behavior with the society , but these videogames do not just affect the children, also they can affect adults.

Fact or Fiction? You Must Drink 8 Glasses of Water Daily
Do healthy people really need liquids even when they are not thirsty?
There's no denying that water is good for you, but does everyone really need to drink 64 ounces or more every day? According to Heinz Valtin, a retired professor of physiology from Dartmouth Medical School who specialized in kidney research and spent 45 years studying the biological system that keeps the water in our bodies in balance, the answer is no.
Valtin says that for people who have specific health concerns, such as kidney stones or a tendency to develop urinary tract infections, drinking lots of water can be beneficial. But after an extensive search in 2002 for the origins of what is commonly referred to as the "8 x 8" guideline and a review of associated health claims, he reports finding no scientific evidence supporting the notion that healthy individuals need to consume large quantities of water. In 2008 Dan Negoianu and Stanley Goldfarb reviewed the evidence for the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. They came to a similar conclusion: "There is no clear evidence of benefit from drinking increased amounts of water."
The Board revisited the question of water consumption in 2004. Its panel on "dietary preference intakes for electrolytes and water" noted that women who appear adequately hydrated consume about 91 ounces (2.7 liters) of water a day and men about 125 ounces (3.7 liters). These seemingly large quantities come from a variety of sources—including coffee, tea, milk, soda, juice, fruits, vegetables and other foods. Instead of recommending how much extra water a person should drink to maintain health, the panel simply concluded that "the vast majority of healthy people adequately meet their daily hydration needs by letting thirst be their guide."
So how much water should you drink? Here's their advice: If you have specific medical concerns, talk to your doctor. But if you are healthy, Rolls recommends that you "have a beverage with meals and drink when you are thirsty." In other words, heed your thirst signals, nd stop feeling guilty for not guzzling those extra glasses.
