Water and Cancer Prevention
We are made up of about 75% water, but many of us are in a chronic state of dehydration.

Your body will actually need varying amounts of water, depending on your age, sex, metabolic rate, body weight, physical activity, as well as the temperature and the humidity of your environment.

Research published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, reveals that water intake is inversely related to each of these types of cancer; meaning the more water a person drinks, the less likely he or she is to develop these potentially fatal conditions.
