With 104 specialties and a number of advanced nursing degrees, itâs easy to see why most nurses change jobs throughout their careers. As a nurse, you can move laterally, to another specialty, or build on your education, and move up.
Have you ever wondered how much of your body is water? The percentage of water varies according to your age and gender. Here's a look at how much water is inside you. The amount of water in the human body ranges from 50-75%. The average adult human body is 50-65% water, averaging around 57-60%. The percentage of water in infants is much higher, typically around 75-78% water, dropping to 65% by one year of age.
Contrary to what one might think, fatty tissue contains less percentage of water per volume than does muscle tissue. One pound of muscle has more water in it than one pound of fat. So the less lean a person is, the less their body weight is made up of water. In extreme obesity, the percentage of water in the body has been measured to reach as low as 45%. Due to physiology, an average, fit and trim adult woman generally has somewhat more fat tissue than does a man of similar fitness and age.
