The importance of water
 

My aunty sent me this. It just reinforces the whole "there's no such thing as too much water" theory that we all (try to) live by!

Cheers!

New research concludes:

*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 U-Washington study.

*Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

*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.

It is a fascinating article.

Such a simple thing that has such a profound effect on your health!

I bookmarked that article and will read it when I have more time online..

I have a question though, how much is too much water?
