Sažetak
Introduction: Water makes up more than 50-70 % of the body composition of a healthy person. Proper hydration is a prerequisite for physiologically functioning body systems and maintenance of homeostasis. The assessment of the body composition by the method of bioelectric impedance with an emphasis on the percentage of water in the body and the effect on health, is the public health product of Lipik spa.
Aim: Assess the percentage of water in the body and point to the need for regular drinking of ordinary drinking water and link it with complementary programs related to drinking water springs.
Methods: The survey included 80 respondents, Lipik spa clients. By the method of bioelectric impedance, the percentage of water in the body was estimated. The evaluation was done on the Tanita apparatus BC 1000. The product was called "Bodywass" (Assessment of body water).
Results: The study encompassed 80 respondents, 64 women and 16 men, averaging ages of 53,5 (range 27 to 85) years. In 79% of respondents, a lower percentage of water in the body was verified, which is a potential risk factor for health and the onset of the disease. Drinking water is a national treasure, a strategic comparative advantage of Croatia in the European Union. As an economic example of socially responsible behavior in the protection of water and the availability of free drinking water to every human being, the „Freewa project“ is presented (Free water). In the park Lipik spa there is a source of potable thermomineral water The Spring Pavilion – Antuns or Counts spring. Under construction is the Museum of Good Water in the city center. In the woods, near the town Lipik is the source of Bukovac where spring water is filled in bottles for the market under the commercial name Studena. Water from both sources is free of charge for guests of Lipik. Sources of drinking water are connected to the cycling trail and the promenade.
Conclusion: Most subjects had a decreased body water content in the body. There is necessary to educate clients in the spa not only about regular exercise habits, but also adequate water intake to preserve health. Traditional spa trials in therapy: walking, drinking and bathing should be enhanced with ecological souvenirs and offered as a new product in Lipik spa health tourism.
