Eye Opening Information!
We all know that water is important but it’s really a good to see why it’s important not only on the Medifast 5 & 1 weight loss program but for several other reasons you may or may not be aware of.
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!!)
So now you see why drinking plenty of water is necessary for the Take Shape for Life program featuring Medifast and in daily life in general for good health!
