We all know that water is important, but I've never seen it written down like this before. The following list was recently sent to me and I felt it was well worth sharing. One thing I would recommend though. We can't always depend on our drinking water to be safe. I personally feel that it's best to have a filter or to buy bottled water, (preferably distilled). The main thing is to be sure that we are all drinking just as much water as we can.
75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half 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 pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of 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.
Dr. Gary Null's study of nursing home residents in upstate New York revealed that almost all Alzheimer's patients were found to be suffering from dehydration. Once they drank enough water, their symptoms greatly improved and in some cases even disappeared!
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 need every day?
Come
walk with me now
To see nature's gift
The beauty fulfilling
My mind all adrift
The trees that are blessed
With beauty to share
They shade me with love
Like unspoken prayer
The butterflies roam
They rest gracefully
Within smallest branch
Their colors lovely
The biblical sky
So reverently shown
Brings peace to this land
Earth's most royal throne
To walk on this earth
With love that abounds
The wonder of nature
Our very own crown
The water cascading
Into rushing cool streams
To quench all our thirst
This water redeems
Greatest magnificence
Here on this earth
Gifted by nature
Sweet token of birth
We stand in this glory
While softly we pray
Give thanks for the beauty
God smiles every day.
