Importance of Drinking Enough Water

by karenwarde @ 24 May. 2006 - 12:58:18 pm

Lack of water is 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.

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.

Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.

So, Drink water as much as u can......:|:|:|

I'm afraid to say I think that is not good advice. I see people forcing water down their neck at every opportunity, it's more of a health fad than anything else. Due to a health problem I have had to cut down on the amount of fluid I drink. Instead of quaffing 1500ml of water in addition to all the cups of tea, etc, I have to manage on much less, and I don't seem to have suffered for it at all.
