We all know that water is important.
Here are some documented facts:
75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is
so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
Even MILD dehydration will slow down
one's metabolism as much as 3%.
One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs
for almost 100% of dieters.
Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of
water a day could significantly ease back pain and
joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term
memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing
on the computer screen or on a printed page.
Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon
cancer by 45%; plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by
79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
