THE
IMPORTANCE OF WATER AND PROPER HYDRATION
Are
you drinking enough water?
*
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 the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
*
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.
*
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?
