Wellington Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMEEERE Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) 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 ),, Edited August 20, 2009 by SMEEERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cognos Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 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) 0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuian Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaBuddha Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 #1. 75% of people are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half the world population) huh? If it's 75% of half the world population, then that's 37.5%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
