Dehydration

Over 80% of Americans suffer from chronic dehydration.

A University of Washington research on dieters found that nearly all of them experienced a reduction in nocturnal hunger after drinking one glass of water.

Headache, exhaustion, back discomfort, joint pain, numbness in the hands and feet, weariness, hazy short-term memory, problems with basic math, and difficulties concentrating are all signs of dehydration.

In addition to reducing the risk of breast cancer by 79% and bladder cancer by 50%, drinking enough water each day lowers the risk of colon cancer by 45%. For up to 80% of sufferers, it can also dramatically reduce back and joint discomfort.

Interesting Facts About Water

• Every time we exhale, we lose about 2 cups of water from the air

• Our skin loses about two cups of water per day through evaporation

• Our pee contains about 5 to 6 cups of water every day

• Without exercising, we lose 8 to 10 glasses of water over the course of a typical day

• Energy is lost by 25%–30% when bodily fluids fall by as little as 5%

• Every day, the kidneys filter 400 liters of fluid. If there isn't enough water, people may recycle water too frequently and leave behind deposits that eventually turn into stones

• Dehydration of any severity can cause a 3% metabolic slowdown

• The nervous system transmits electrical signals that regulate each cell's function. Our nerves function as electrical rivers, and if the water in those waterways becomes too thick due to dehydration or contamination, the signals get confused, resulting in disorders like ADHD, CFSS, anxiety, depression, and Alzheimer's

• Despite the fact that muscle tissue is composed of 99% water molecules, the majority of commonly held beliefs regarding how muscles contract do not mention water
