Water or Coke?
We all know that water is important, but did you know this?
Water:
1. 75% Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Applies likely to half the
world population).
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 is the # one trigger for 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 maths, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen
or on a printed page.
Drinking 8 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.
ARE YOU DRINKING WATER EVERY DAY?
Coke:
1. In many states (USA) the highway patrol carries 2 gallons (9
liters) of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the road after an
accident.
2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone
in 2 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 vitreous china.
4. To remove the rust spots from 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 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 cloths; Empty a can of Coke into a load of
greasy cloths, add detergent and run through a regular cycle. The
Coca-Cola will help loosen the grease stains. It will also clean road haze
from your windshield.
For your information.
1. The active ingredient of Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8.
It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches
Calcium from the 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 placards 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!
