If You Do Not Drink More Than One Glass Of Water A Day Is It Bad For Your Health?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    While there is no doubt that drinking water every day is good for you, most of the information I researched states that so much of your body is made up of water that not drinking enough water will not leave you under-hydrated or even dehydrated.

    On the other hand, preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. It is well documented that drinking sufficient amounts of water will help reduce constipation, but most people do not know that drinking eight glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%.

    Drinking enough water can also reduce the risk of bladder cancer (by 50%) and it can potentially even reduce the risk of breast cancer. Eight to ten glasses of water a day can even ease joint pain up to 80%.

    I was shocked to find out that A mere 2% drop in body water can impact your short-term memory, cause you to have problems with simple maths. It can also cause you to have difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

    Mild dehydration is also one of the most common causes of daytime fatigue. This is all amazing and also remarkable that the cure for a lot of these things is free. You can get a glass of water almost everywhere you are in a day's time simply for the asking.

    While I wouldn't personally say a person has to drink a given number of glasses of water each day, for sure you should try to get more than one glass a day!
