I'm not sure why people are so concerned about how water looks or tastes. We're talking about something so important to our bodies. More than half of our bodies are water. Loss of 15-20 of water in our bodies can be fatal. It quenches thirst, aids digestion, cools the body, flushes out wastes, carries nutrients to cells, reduces risk of kidney stones, lubricates joins, relieves headaches, curbs appetite and snacking.
75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that its often mistaken for hunger.
Even mild dehydration will slow down ones metabolism by as much as 3%
One glass of water shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of high quality water 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 printed page.
Drinking five glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
Considering all these things, doesn't it just make sense to replenish the body with the highest quality water possible?
