Pat, a lady I work with, has a big mug that advertises the importance of water on it. When it broke and she didn't want it anymore, I asked her if I could have it so I could get the info off of it. So she gave it to me:

You should drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. (duh, I bet you knew that)

The fact is:
--The body is 80% water
--We need to drink at least half our body weight in ounces of water
--Water removes harmful toxins from the body
--Dehydration slows down the body's metabolism
--Lack of water causes daytime fatigue
--Water plays a vital role in almost every bodily function

A mere two percent drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory trouble with basic math problems and difficulty focusing.

Water regulates the temperature of the human body,
carries nutrients and oxygen to cells,
cushions joints,
protects organs and tissues,
and removes wastes.
