Word of the Day
comestible, adjective:
Suitable to be eaten; edible.
noun:
Something suitable to be eaten; food.

E.g.: I came to Adria's lab expecting subtle combinations and rare ingredients, the real outer limit of the comestible.
--Adrian Searle, "Spray-on sauces, caviar for astronauts and aerosols of wine. . . ," The Guardian

No matter how many flip-flops the nutrition gurus may make in deciding whether a particular comestible will kill or cure, most Americans seem to trust their instincts and eat what they please.
--Richard Martin, "Dollars to doughnuts," Nation's Restaurant News

This rare comestible calls for specially designed platters, holders, and forks, but how well worth their acquisition!
--Samuel Chamberlain, Climentine in the Kitchen
Both men are descended from the fourth Earl of Sandwich, who is credited with inventing the namesake comestible in the mid-l8th century.
--Amanda Mosle Friedman, "Noble heir to sandwich inventor starts namesake delivery outfit," Nation's Restaurant News

ARTICLE.
Now I offer you a kind of exercise. You're to read the text carefully & then do the exercise.

Water - Have You had a Glass or Two To-day?
Every day we need water. Without it we would soon die. For most of us, drinking water comes so naturally that we probably don't even realize how much we consume each day. Whether it is just water, or tea, coffee, or fruit juice, we get our daily intake of H2O in many ways.
Although it is not obvious, we have three main sources of water. The liquids we drink, the water that is a part of every food we eat, and then there is what is called "metabolic water." Many of the chemical reactions that are taking place in our bodies that enable us to live and grow also produce water as an end-product. Although not as large as the water we get from what we eat and drink, metabolic water is nonetheless important.
In temperate climates we need about 2 litres of water a day depending on our activity level. Strenuous exercise on hot humid days can cause a loss of up to 10 litres of water. Although severe dehydration is not common, mild dehydration can be a hazard for people who carry out activities that cause them to produce large quantities of sweat. But, even as we breathe, we lose water, as anyone who goes outside on a cold winter day knows. The digestion of our food also requires a great deal of water.
The type of diet we eat can also affect how much water we need each day. People on high protein diets are told to increase their water intake as a way of getting rid of higher levels of waste products produced while on these diets. The digestive system of children also is more dependent on water for proper functioning.
When we perspire we lose salt (NaCl) as well as water. Drinking liquids with added salt is preferred to just drinking plain water after vigorous exercise. Simply drinking the same volume of pure water equal to the volume of perspiration lost can lead to an imbalance in salt concentration at the cellular level. This is particularly dangerous in older people who have hypertension or heart disease. Seniors should closely regulate their daily water intake, and moderately increase their salt intake when they sweat.
Our bodies have a finely tuned mechanism for maintaining the proper concentration of salt in our body fluids such as blood and urine. If your water intake goes down, your urine output does down and urine salt concentration goes up. Over the long term this can cause a stress on the kidneys and should be avoided. After drinking large amounts of fluids, urine volume goes up but salt concentration goes down.
Although it does not appear on a list of required nutrients, water is something that we need every day to remain healthy
