Importance of Water

in health •  8 years ago 

We all know that water is important but I've never seen it presented like this before.  Are you drinking enough water?    

 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.    

For 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.    

Lack of water is the Number 1 trigger of daytime fatigue.    

Preliminary research indicates that 8 to 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?
