Water Facts



Healthy living starts with quality drinking water. Scientific studies show that adults should drink 2 Liters of water every day – not including any soft drinks, juices, tea or coffee. In fact, coffee even dehydrates our body, so we should compensate every cup of coffee with double the amount of water.

Among other facts these studies in the US show:

* 75 % of the people are chronically dehydrated.

* One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters.

* Lack of water is the No.1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

* A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic mathematics, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or 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%.

* 80% of diseases are due to bad drinking water.


The studies also prove that Water:

* Provides oxygen and nutrients to different part of the body.

* Flushes out toxins in our body.

* Strengthens our immune system.
