Feeling Tired?

If you have been feeling tired lately, maybe the cause isn't working to much but the lack of water. The lack of water is the number one trigger of daytime fatigue. Statistics show that 75% of us are chronically dehydrated and that 37% of us have our thirst mechanism so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger. Even mild dehydration can slow down your metabolism by as much as three percent. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger trouble with basic math or start fuzzy short term memory problems. You may even have trouble reading as your eyes can not focus without the correct amount of water in your body.

Not only does it make us tired but it can cause weakness of joints, pain and over eating. One 8 oz glass of water can shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of dieters. A recent study done by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle says, drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of breast cancer by 79% and 50% of bladder cancers. Research also states that intake of 8-10 glasses of water daily can significantly ease back and joint pain by as much as 80%.

So, drink up people, help keep yourselves in great shape by inviting water into your bodies.
