Amazing‘Oz’ Facts

On Aug. 25, 1939,audiences took aTechnicolor journeyover the rainbowwhen “The Wizardof Oz” was firstreleased in theaters.Follow the yellowbrick road downmemory lane withsome trivia about theclassic film:

The movie costnearly $2.8 million tomake—unheard of inthat era.

The tornado thatswept Dorothy’shouse away to Ozwas actually a35-foot-long muslinstocking wrappedaround chicken wire.

The dog playingToto was namedTerry. She earned$125 a weekduring filming.

In L. Frank Baum’sbook, Dorothy’sslippers are silver,but they werechanged to ruby totake advantage of thefilm’s Technicoloreffects. Four pairs ofslippers were usedthroughout filming.

Your Body and WaterEverybody knows the human

body needs water to survive.But what does water do foryou, exactly?

The average adult’s body isabout 60 percent water,two-thirds of it contained in cells.Water plays a crucial role in theformation of cells, which areoften called the building blocksof life. Simply speaking, withoutwater, there is no human life.

Most of the human body’smajor systems depend on waterto function. Water deliversoxygen and nutrients throughoutthe body, lubricates joints,flushes out waste and toxins, andregulates the body’s internaltemperature. The brain, spinalcord and other organs areinsulated with water, which actsas a shock absorber and helpsprevent injury.

Water makes swallowing anddigestion possible and alsometabolizes proteins andcarbohydrates into energy. Infact, just a 5 percent decreasein body fluids can cause a30 percent drop in a person’senergy level. So, instead ofdrinking coffee or othercaffeinated beverages, whichcontribute to dehydration, thekey to feeling more energeticmay be to drink more water.

Adults need between2 and 3 liters of water everyday, but some of this watercan come from food. Freshfruits and vegetables areespecially hydrating.
