"Mere Mummery"

Importance of water, are you drinking enough? 

We all know that water is important but I've never seen it written 
down like this before. 

75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. 
  
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 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. 

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 should every day? 

Of course, too much water may have strange side effects (see picture below)
