Drink More Water. Beer Will Not Do.

WATER

#1. 75% of people are chronically dehydrated.

(Likely applies to half the world population)

#2. In 37% of people the thirst mechanism is so weak

that it is mistaken for hunger.

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

#4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs

for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of

Washington 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 on 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 drink every day?

very interesting,and im sure a lot of truth in it,my wife drinks 2 litres through the night !,shes in perfect health,..ive also met 2 foreigners in pattaya that ONLY drink beer, and i mean ONLY,for breakfast lunch and dinner, they dont look so good, one has awful gout ( may be unrelated ) the others skin is like leather ( probably the 60 smokes a day not helping ),,

good points..this is my 7th time to Thailand ( usually stay about 10 weeks ), and the desire to drink beer by 5 pm is often strong for me. However, the desire to not get up about 6 times a night to piss and drink water is an even stronger desire..so I am avoiding the beer as much as possible ( I like 5 to 6 beers on occasion ), and just getting up once in the night for a sip or drink of water is much better. Water wins every time over beer ( except when you've had 2 and want another)

Water will be scarce soon - if it isn't already and it's needed for

growing crops and raising cattle and poultry, besides fish do all sorts of things

in it - why the heck should one consider water is "healthy"?

Unless it's a promotion campaign from Perrier and Evian!

I stick to beer, plenty of water way over 90% and many other goodies'

in there AND CERTAINLY NO "Montezuma's Revenge"..... I am a health fanatic!

And highly socially engaged, that why I leave the little what is left, for those

who can;t effort to drink beer!

huh? If it's 75% of half the world population, then that's 37.5%.

It's a little bit off topic but it does show the lengths that merchandisers go to, to sell at exorbitant prices, man's most basic commodity.
