We all know that water is important but I bet you’ve never seen it written down
like this before.
Water
1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it
is often mistaken for hunger.
3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much
as 3%.
4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for
almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could
significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. If you have chronic headaches or migraines, suck down a 20oz bottle of
water at the onset!!! It helps to lessen the pain (if you follow that with Gatorade or
Pedialite it will help even more!!)
And now for the properties of Coke:
1. In many states (in the USA ) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in
the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.
3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real
thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from
porcelain and china.
4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a
rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over
the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt
for several minutes.
7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap
the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished,
remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for sumptuous brown
gravy.
8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into a
load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle.
The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains.
9. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
Did you know:
1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve
a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a
major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis?
2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use
the Hazardous material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials?
3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean the engines of their
trucks for about 20 years?
I didn't think so!
Now the question to you is...
Would you like a Coke or a glass of water?
