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.
