Drinking Water - How, When and Why

So a week ago (or the week before) I posted about different ways to store and protect your water. I should have included this bit of information also.

Why is it important for humans to drink ample amounts of water?

     Even MILD dehydration will slow down a person's metabolism as much as 3%. One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study. lack of water is the number one trigger of daytime fatigue. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math and difficulty focusing on the computer screen.

Drinking water at the correct time maximizes its effectiveness on the Human Body.

2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs
1 class of water 30 minutes before a mean - helps digestion
1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure
1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack.

I am practicing what I preach - which is hard - only because I drink so much water now its hard for me to drink my Diet Coke too!
