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 will shut
down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a
University of 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.
