Watery Facts

Newark, OH(Zone 5b)

I am still trying to find the source information for this, but I'm going to go ahead and post it. Pretty interesting stuff...It also included a bunch of stuff about the caustic nature of Coca Cola, but that info was erroneous and unfounded, I found. More on the water later...

WATER


We all know that water is important but I've never seen it written down like this before.

  • 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half world population)
  • 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 will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a U-Washington study.
  • Lack of water, 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.

    Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?
