If you’re not drinking at least eight glasses
a day, BEWARE! That’s what the experts quoted in a June article
from Health magazine had to say. Researchers continue to explore
the many medicinal wonders of water. We thought you might
be interested in a few things the article had to say:
Water
as a Cancer Fighter
In
a study conducted at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
in Seattle, researchers concluded that women who drank more
than four glasses of water a day had nearly half the odds
of getting colon cancer as women who imbibed two glasses or
less. One study conducted at the Cancer Research Center of
Hawaii found that women who reported drinking the most water
each day were a whopping 80 percent less likely to develop
bladder cancer than those who drank the least. In a case study,
British researchers reported women that defined themselves
as water-drinkers ran a smaller risk of breast cancer than
those who didn’t. I n pre-menopausal participants, the odds
were cut by a third, while post-menopausal women enjoyed an
ever greater benefit.
Water
for Weight Control
Multiple
studies have shown that people who increase their water intake
over the long haul drop the pounds. In one case study, an
obese woman lost 42 pounds in 18 months by following a program
that stressed a big increase in water consumption. Barbara
Rolls, a professor at Pennsylvania State University and author
of the diet book Volumetrics,
suggests that you also need to cook water into your diet through
foods like hot cereal, pasta and soup. Researchers found that
dieters who consumed soup four times a week consumed 100 fewer
calories a day.
Water
to Fight Fatigue
A
condition called mitral valve prolapse syndrome (MVPS) is
a heart abnormality that affects an estimated 2 to 10 percent
of the population. One of the symptoms of MVPS is constant
fatigue. The Mitral Valve Prolapse Center in Birmingham, Alabama
asserts that women with MVPS generally have only 70 to 80
of the fluids they should have in their veins, and that dehydration
can cause or worsen the problem. A study at the University
of Arizona confirms the findings. Researchers could induce
symptoms, simply by inducing mild dehydration.
Water
for Healing Headaches
Jerome
Goldstein, director of the San Francisco Headache Clinic,
has seen the evidence that dehydration can cause headaches.
Dehydration upsets the balance of sodium and potassium and
urges the brain to get stingy with its water supply, increasing
pressure on the organ. His simple message: Drink more water.
You may recall that this article also recommended innowave
as its Expert Pick for distillation systems. There is no shortage
of reasons to drink lots of water today and even more great
