9 Great Reasons to Drink Water, and form the Water Habit

Weight Loss

Water is one of the best tools for weight loss, first of all because it often replaces high- calorie drinks like soda and juice and alcohol with a drink that doesn’t have any calories.  But it’s also a great appetite suppressant, and often when we think we are hungry, were actually just thirsty.  Water has not fat, no calories, and no carbs.  Drink plenty of water to help your weight loss regimen.

Heart Healthy

Drinking a good amount of water could lower your risks of a heart attack.  A six-year study published in the May 1, 2002 American Journal of Epidemiology found that those who drank more than 5 glasses of water a day were 41% less likely to die from a heart attack during the study period than those who drank less than two glasses.

Energy

Being dehydrated can sap your energy and make you feel tired.  If your thirsty-your already dehydrated.  This can lead to fatigue, muscle weakness, dizziness and other symptoms.

Headache Cure

Another symptom of dehydration is headaches.  In fact, dehydration is the most common reason for headaches.

Healthy Skin

Drinking water can clear up your skin and give you a healthy glow.  It won’t happen over night but just a week of drinking a healthy amount can have good effects on your skin.  Drinking water along with a healthy skin care regimen will flush toxins and clear up your skin.

Digestive Problems

Our digestive systems need a good amount of water to digest food properly.  Often water can help cure stomach acid problems and water along with fiber can cure constipation (which is often a result of dehydration).

Cleansing

Water is used by the body to help flush out toxins and waste products from the body.

Cancer Risk

Related to the digestive system above, drinking a healthy amount of water has also been found to reduce the risk of colon cancer by 45%.  Drinking lots of water can also reduce the risk of bladder cancer by 50% and possibly reduce the risk of breast cancer.

Better Exersise

Being dehydrated can severely damper your athletic activities, slowing you down and making it harder to lift weights. Exercise requires additional water, so be sure to hydrate before, and during and after.

Fast Facts About Skin Cancer

• Skin cancer and melanoma account for about 50% of all types of cancers diagnosed combined.
• Skin cancer is one of the more preventable types of cancer.
• More than 90% of skin cancer is causes by excessive exposure to the sun.
• Each hour, 1 person dies from skin cancer.

What is Melanomia?

Answer: Melanoma is a type of skin cancer and is considered to be most dangerous form of the disease. Although less commonly diagnosed than other types of skin cancer, melanoma accounts for over 75% of skin cancer deaths.

Melanoma is treatable when detected early. Moles or other spots on the skin should be self examined each month. Look for any changes in the existing areas and look for new moles.

When doing a self examination, you need to look at all areas of the body. It helps to have a mirror to view all parts of the body. Look for any changes to color, shape, and size to any freckle, mole, blemish or reddened areas. It is helpful to know the ABC’s of skin cancer.

Sometimes these areas may be itchy, scaly, or even have a crusty appearance. If bleeding or oozing comes from a mole or spot, it is imperative that it be examined by a physician. This is often indicative of advanced melanoma and needs to be evaluated.

Sometimes, it is difficult to discern between an ordinary mole and a melanoma. If you have any doubt, it is important to have it checked out by a physician. Skin should be examined for any suspicious areas by a physician on a yearly basis, if skin cancer has never been diagnosed.

If you want to catch melanoma before it catches you, you need to bone up on the alphabet. Dermatologists made watching for skin cancer as simple as A-B-C.

The ABC’s of Early Detection

Skin cancers often develop in unusual looking moles or skin lesions. Only a biopsy can determine for sure whether the spot is skin cancer. However, since most moles are benign, it can be hard for people to know which ones should be seen by a physician.

Twenty-five years ago, researchers at NYU Langone Medical Center developed an easy-to-use mnemonic to help patients and doctors remember the early warning signs of melanoma. They called it the ABCD system:
A stands for asymmetry. If you draw an imaginary line through the center of a mole, the two halves will look different in shape, color or both.

B is for border. Look for edges that are uneven, scalloped or blurry.

C is for color. A normal mole is one color throughout. Melanomas may contain different colors or different shades of a color.

D stands for diameter. Most melanomas are ¼ inch (roughly the size of a pencil eraser) or larger.

Dermatologist, David Polsky, M.D., Ph.D., says in 2004, researchers looked at skin cancer data to see how well the ABCD system was working for early detection of melanomas. The investigators found that some skin cancers didn’t quite fit the ABCD system, so Polsky suggested adding a fifth letter:

E stands for evolving. The additional letter highlights the need to look for moles or skin lesions that are changing over time, whether in size, color, elevation, or is developing new symptoms, like bleeding, crusting or itching.

Melanoma can also develop in areas that don’t normally get sun, so it’s important to check all areas of the body. You can use a mirror or partner to see the back and other hidden areas of the body. Don’t forget to check the tips of the ears and between the toes.
