more stats on the effects of too little H2o! HOW IMPORTANT IS WATER TO YOUR HEALTH? WELL.... 1. 75% of North Americans are chronically dehydrated.(likely applies to half the world population). 2. In 37% of North Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger. WOW! 3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down ones metabolism as much as 3%. 4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pains for almost 100% of dieters studied in a U.W. study. 5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue! 6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. 7. 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 a printed page. 8. 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 everyday? I here everyday from people that they do not like the taste (or lack of taste) of water. I always suggest start slow, if you drink 1-2 glasses a day go to 3-4, otherwise the new habit will not stick. Once you do it for awhile you will be hooked and crave water and reap ALL the benefits listed above.
