 WaterPresented By: Bruce Bonner We all know that water is important. • 75% of Canadians are chronically dehydrated. • In 37% of Canadians, 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 shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied at the University of Washington. • 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 in 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. • Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by an amazing 79%. One is also 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day? I recommend drinking one liter of water for every 75 lbs. that you weigh.Tweet ThisBruce Bonner - MASc. , CBT , RNCPbbonner@backinbalancechiro.ca Diet and Nutrition Main PageOttawa Hockey News Main PageWe do not warrant any of the information provided by the sites listed on ottawahockeynews.com.
