Bill,

Thank you for this information, I am certainly going to try this when my next

headache hits, most likely in a day or two. I will let you know if it works for

me and am anxious to hear how it works for others.

Water means the difference between good health and disease. Consider some of the

benefits of good hydration. It:

Cuts the Risk of Disease

Research studies show that good hydration cuts the risk of breast cancer by 79%,

reduces the risk of colon cancer by 45% and slashes the risk of bladder cancer

by 50%.

Enhances Mental Clarity

A drop of just 2% in body water causes short term memory problems and

significant difficulties with concentration. Good hydration helps you become

mentally alert throughout the day.

Improves Digestion

A digestive system without sufficient fluid is constipated. Fluid is essential

for nutrients to pass through the delicate membranes of the intestines. If the

body is adequately hydrated sufficient fluid is present in the digestive track

to distribute nutrients throughout the body.

Softens Skin Texture

Adequate hydration makes it possible for water to move through all the membranes

of your body so that the largest organ in the body, the skin, is adequately

hydrated. Skin texture softens. The natural aging process is slowed. Wrinkles

vanish. Bagging skin tightens. Why bother to go through the pain of a face lift

when giving your body water is a safe, natural and effective alternative with no

complications?

Slows the Aging Process

The reason for poor hydration as we age is the gradual decline of the thirst

mechanism in the brain. When we are young and get thirsty there is no stopping

us when we are thirsty. A different story emerges as we age. The thirst signal

becomes distorted because we ignore it and because we drink dehydrating drinks

such as coffee or alcohol. Good hydration lowers the surface tension of the

water that is ingested and reduces the cluster size of its molecules. Wetting

capacity is increased, making water more readily available for transport to each

and every cell of the body.

Relieves Back and Joint Pain

A little known fact is that adequate hydration has been shown to relieve back

and joint pain for as many as 80% of sufferers.

Helps Control Body Weight

For many people the thirst mechanism in the body is so weak that it is mistaken

for hunger in one third of Americans. Instead of drinking water we eat.

Resets the Thirst Mechanism

Hunger is not confused with thirst. The obvious benefit is a subsequent loss of

excess weight that is caused by eating too much food.

In summary, what are the mind-boggling benefits of good hydration?

* We look and feel younger.

* Mental clarity gets a welcome boost.

* Our digestive system sends nutrients to each cell

* Weight control is restored.

* Ability to handle stress is enhanced.

* Pain from aching joints is reduced.

* Overall flexibility is restored.

All systems in the body function at their peak potential with good hydration.

Sound too good to be true?

It is not. As simple minded as it may sound, water is the secret to good health.

Good morning Bill,

I believe 100 % with you. I hydrate at least a half a gallon of water(filtered)

every day. I told my doctor about it and he thought

I might have diabetes(sic). I laughed and told him that's not the case.

He wanted to test anyway,so he drew the blood and it came back negative for that

disease,as I told him. Now, he was curious as to

why I drink that much daily. I told him I needed it to be hydrated and he told

me I didn't need that much,I asked him if he ever hiked in this weather(high

temperature and high Humidity?),the answer was no.

I rest my case and he got a good laugh out of it.

Vertebral discs require hydration and I have always wondered if this harmed my

spine because my discs had fissures. Bennie
