Over 70% of earth's surface is covered with water.
Most of this water is undrinkable salt water.
Though our body needs both salt and water to function, we can not drink salt water !!!!
It is because our body needs little amount of salt. Ocean salt water has more amount of salt in it.
When we take in too much salt, our kidneys must get rid of this excess salt through our urine.
Ocean salt water is considered hypertonic fluid means ocean salt water contains more salt than human blood.
Drinking salt water results in our body getting rid of the excess salt by urinating more water than we took in.
Instead of quenching our thirst, our body suffers a net loss of water.
This will result in dehydration and increased thirst leading to death.
