If You See Timelines in Your Head, You're Probably a Synesthete
I went my whole life thinking my brain worked just like everyone else's. It's natural to assume that your thought patterns aren't unique to you, that everyone sees things as you do. But when I was an upperclassman in high school, I learned about this fascinating thing called synesthesia and realized that I was in fact a synesthete. I can't even remember exactly how I discovered it, but it blew my mind to know that I'd gone my whole life without realizing my brain functioned slightly differently than the average mind.

Am I Drinking Enough Water?
Amazing, But True Facts About Water We all know that water is important, but did you know... 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated and they don’t even know it (This likely applies to half of the worlds’ population as well.). In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it’s often mistaken for hunger. Even MILD dehydration will slow down a person’s metabolism as much as 3%. According to a study at the University of Washington, one glass of water stopped midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters who participated in the study. Lack of water is the number one trigger of daytime fatigue. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water (depending on the person) a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger headaches, fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page. Drinking five glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and a person is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. At least four ounces of water every hour helps connect the left brain to the right brain, enhancing concentration, memory and improves the attention span (This is especially effective for children diagnosed with ADD).
