The importance of water

Hi all! I just found this and thought it was worth sharing! Ken WATER FACTS: You should drink at least 8 glasses of water a day A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short term memory trouble with basic math problems and difficulty focusing! Water regulates the temperature of the human body, carries nutrients and oxygen to cells, cushions joints, protects organs and tissues, and removes wastes. The body is 80% water. We need to drink 1/2 our body weight in oz. of water. Water removes harmful toxins from the body. Dehydration slows down the body's metabolism. Lack of Water causes daytime fatigue. Water plays a role in almost every bodily function. 75% of the U.S. population are chronically dehydrated. 37% of the U.S. population mistake thirst for hunger. 98% of dieters use water to deter hunger pangs.

Those stats are amazing... Especially, "HALF MY BODY WEIGHT?" I'd better go stick my mouth up to the faucet!! LOL.
