Well yesterday

rnI know what I have to do is excercise and so far not much of that.
rnI got an email from a friend I would like to share.
rnSubject: Water or Coke
Bring on the water!!!!
Water or Coke?
This is really an eye opener….
We all know that water is important but I’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!!)
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: Applying 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.
For Your Info:
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!
Now the question is…
Would you like a Coke or a glass of water?
