How often are we told how important water is to us, and how often do we tell ourselves that we really should drink more water.

Approximately 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated and this may well apply to a good half of the world’s population as well

In almost half of the dehydrated population the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger, even a mild case of dehydration will slow down your metabolism as much as 3%

In a Washington University study the simple drinking of one glass of water shut down the hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied.

A lack of water is the number one trigger of daytime fatigue

Research has shown that consuming 8 to 10 glasses of water could have a significant effect on reducing or easing back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers of these conditions

A 2% drop in hydration can trigger short term memory, difficulty with basic mathematics, and trouble with focusing on a computer screen or a printed page.

An innovative teacher at a well known Melbourne boys college has been comparing the effects of consuming plain water, versus water containing 20% Apple and Pear juice with her students, and all students have noticed a remarkable difference in their bodies ability to absorb the mixture of the water with 20% Apple and Pear juice added, and reported requiring less toilet trips than if they drink plain water.

Did you know that drinking water may not only improve your health, it also reduces the risk of a number of cancers:-

Colon cancer by   45%

Breast cancer by   79%

Bladder cancer by 50%

Are you drinking the amount of water you need every day?

**Remember that the inclusion of 20% Apple and Pear juice into your water  available from your supermarket or grocery store shelf can assist not only with your hydration but also with your body’s ability to absorb fluids into your cells.
