| The human body contains
over 75% water. Water is the transport system that moves nutrients
around the body as well and carries waste out of the body. Water
breaks down food, keeps your body temperature balanced and keeps
your skin elastic. We can live for weeks without food but only a few
days without water.
Our drinking water quality has been
changing. The primary focus of water treatment plants is to prevent
disease outbreaks. They do this by adding chemicals and filtering
our drinking water. For the short-term, it works. However, what
about the long-term effects of drinking these disease killing
chemicals? What are the benefits? What other contaminates may be in
your water supply?

HYDRATION
FACTS
75% of Americans are chronically
dehydrated. It is probable that similar percentages apply to 90% of
the world population.
In 37% of Americans, 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 pains for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a
University of Washington study.
Lack of water is the #1 trigger of
daytime fatigue.
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%. It can slash the risk of
breast cancer by 79%, and reduce the risk of developing bladder
cancer by 50%.
