Water
We all know
water is good for you. So why exactly is
water good for you? Here is some information on the health benefits of water I’ve
collected over the years. Hopefully this information will get you motivated to
drink more water and learn more about the benefits of water. Before you read on, you may want to get a glass of water. I
bet you’ll get thirsty.
75% of all Americans are chronically dehydrated. Think about it, probably half the world’s population is chronically dehydrated too. You too are also most likely dehydrated.
In 37% of
Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it’s often mistaken for hunger.
If you think you’re hungry, most likely you are thirsty and dehydrated. To help
settle those hunger pains try a glass of water first and wait 15 minutes. Now
are you really hungry?
Even MILD
dehydration will slow your metabolism 3%. If you want to burn more calories
drink more water.
A University
of Washington study shows that one glass of water before bed shuts down
midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of dieters.
Lack of water is the number one trigger of daytime fatigue. If you feel tired in the afternoon try reaching for a glass of water before you reach for that diet Coke or cup of coffee.
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 a printed page.
Drinking
five 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.
You are not
just what you eat; you are what you drink. 75% of our body is water.
Water is the
basis of all life and that includes your body. Your muscles that move your body
are 75% water; your blood that transport nutrients is 82% water; your lungs
that provide your oxygen are 90% water; your brain that is the control center
of your body is 76% water; even your bones are 25% water. (www.watercure.com)
It has even
been suggested that the optimum amount of water a person should drink is one
ounce of water for every pound you weigh.
The more you
learn about the benefits of water the more you will realize water is vital to
your well-being.
In
a life time, the average person will drink 23,000 gallons of water. Just so you are aware, the water probability went thought six toilets and chemical treatments before it comes out of the faucet. Before you drink your water make sure it's clean. That's why I drink filtered water only.
Water
flushes the toxins out off your body. There’s a lot of sugar in juice and
alcohol. Get your sugar and calories from fruits and vegetables. Don’t drink your calories.
Cheers!
