The Importance of Drinking Water
In 37% of the population, 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
pains for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a U-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, 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.
*Remember, when you start to feel thirsty it’s
too late. Keep hydrated all day.
