This is not the usual type of DMers post, but i thought this might be worth knowing:

Reasons to drink up!

- You need to be well-hydrated to ensure all your organs are working properly. They will not (especially in Dtox month)work at their best if you are not hydrated.

- The thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.

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

- One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a U-Washington study.

- 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 or on a printed page.

- 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.
