Are you dehydrated?

Here are some startling facts and statistics:
75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
37% have suppressed their thirst mechanism to the point that it is often misinterpreted for hunger.
Even mild dehydration can slow down one's metabolic rate by as much as 3%.
A University of Washington study, found that nearly all participating dieters were able to deter their midnight hunger pangs by just drinking a glass of water.
The No. 1 trigger of daytime fatigue is lack of water.
Preliminary research has indicated that drinking 8-10 glasses of water each day could improve back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
A mere 2% drop in body water can negatively affect short-term memory and the ability to concentrate.
Drinking five glasses of water each day can decrease the risk of breast cancer by as much as 79%, bladder cancer by 50%, colon cancer by 45%, and deadly heart attack by 41%.

********************************************************************************
By drinking healthy living water you are positioning your body to be at optimal health. You are better able to ward off sickness because you have a boosted immune system. You are also more likely to lose weight, slow down the aging process, and better absorb important nutrients including vitamins and minerals.

This is information I got from Life Enthusiast dot com.
