WATER
1. 75% of Americans are chronically
dehydrated.
2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst
mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
3. Even MILD dehydration will
slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.
4. One glass of water will shut
down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied
in a University
of Washington
study.
5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger
of daytime fatigue.
6. Preliminary research indicates
that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. If you have chronic
headaches or migraines, suck down a 20oz bottle of water at the onset!!! It helps to lessen the pain (if you follow
that with Gatorade or Pedialite it will help even more!!)
And now for the properties of
Coke:
I got the information below from truthorfiction.com
Critics
of Coke (and some other soft drinks) say that if the beverages will do corrosive things, why drink them?
Defenders,
including the folks at Coca-Cola, say there are many foods that have substances like acids in them such as fruit juices and
buttermilk, and that the body seems to handle them just fine. The operative substance is phosphoric acid, which, in
pure form, can eat through metal. Edible acids, however, should not be compared with them, according to the defenders.
Here
is the list. If you have any of the answers, let us know:
1. The highway patrol carrying Coke to
clean up blood at car accidents. Unproven! If this is true, we haven't found it.
2. A t-bone steak will be eaten away by Coke in two days. Unproven!
3. Clean a toilet with Coke. Truth!
4. Remove stains from vitreous china. Truth!
5. Use Coke and a ball of aluminum foil for rust on chrome. Truth!
6. Clean corrosion from car battery terminals. Truth! This is true
of a lot of carbonated beverages.
7. Use a Coke-soaked cloth to loosen a rusted bolt. Truth!
8. Use a can of Coke in a load of greasy laundry. Truth!
9. Dissolve a nail in 4 days in Coke. Unproven!
10. Hazardous materials signs are required on trucks carrying Coke concentrate. Truth!
