75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half world pop.)
In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.
One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a U-Washington study.
Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
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.
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.
Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?

I know, it's so good for your body to have at least 8 eight ounce glasses of water a day (just be prepared to go to the bathroom all day long)! I have to get better at this also.
I know it would do wonders for me to stop drinking pop, I seem to go through streaks. On a bad day, I'll drink 2-4 cans a day (usually weekends). On a good day, I'll only have 1 or 2 cans. I've noticed if I can go 1 whole day without a pop, I seem to get over that desire of thinking I need one. I love regular, sugar pop (not diet)!
I'll try to drink less, I know it would affect my weight considerably, not to mention it's way better for your teeth too. (Pop & also fruit juices are really hard on your teeth & gums - my dentist told me this & my friend, Michelle's dentist told her the same thing).
