Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day? We all know that water is important, but I've never seen it written like this before:
75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half the world drinking soda pop.)
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 shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters surveyed in a University of Washington study.
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 and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, cause trouble with basic math, and lead to difficulty focusing on a computer screen or printed page.
Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, slashes the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and 50% are less likely to develop bladder cancer.
