I rolled on the floor when I read this!!
I've always heard a lot about how water is really better for you than soda, but I never really thought to much about it. I mean, cola has water in it right? Sure it does, but there is a lot about both water and cola that many people don't know.
Did you know that over half of the world's population is chronically dehydrated? It's true, and 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. That's 3 out of every 4 people. In your family alone, one if not more of you are not getting enough water.
Even a mild dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%. Don't think it's a lot? Well, what about those 10 pounds you've been trying to lose? Start drinking a lot of water, and it will help you lose them.
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 great difficulty with focusing on reading from a book or from the computer screen you are looking at right now.
So water is good for you. Research shows that those 8-10 glasses a day you have been hearing about can significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. Drinking just five glasses of water a day decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and also one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
Now think about those cans of cola that you drink on a daily basis. Even one can a day add up to a lot of cola. Do you even know what that stuff can do?
-If you put a T-bone steak in a bowl of cola it will be gone in only two days.
-If you put a nail in cola, like the kind you hang your pictures up with, the phosphoric acid in it will completely dissolve the nail in four days.
-If you want to clean a toilet bowl, pour a can of cola into the toilet bowl and let it sit for just one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in cola removes stains from vitreous china.
-To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers you can rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of aluminum foil dipped in cola.
So the next time you reach for that ice cold Coca-Cola that has more than just a purpose of a soft drink, why not reach for pure, non acid filled water instead? I know I'm not about to drink cola anymore…though I do have some rusty nails on the shed that I could use it on.
