The Listenary

Did you know that in about one-third of all Americans the thirst call is so weak as to be often mistaken for hunger?

Three-quarters of our population lives in a dehydrated state.

Dehydration, even a little dehydration, slows metabolism, produces fatigue, hinders eye focus, and triggers fuzzy memory and logic.

A glass of water can quell or greatly reduce hunger pangs in dieters.

Sufficient water could make a big difference for a majority of back and joint pain sufferers.

Daily water drinking can significantly decrease risk of colon, breast, and bladder cancer.

Water should be drunk at least one-half hour before a meal and at least one hour after a meal. I usually drink two glasses upon waking, two glasses before lunch, two glasses before supper, and two glasses long enough before bedtime so as not to disturb my sleep.
