It may not come as a surprise to you that water is good for your health. And it's been widely publicized that drinking water can help people who are trying to lose weight. Few people would disagree, but there are also few who truly understand why this is so.
Some believe it is because it helps give you a full feeling, reducing the desire to eat as much.
It's also been suggested that keeping your hands busy with a water glass or bottle helps reduce the need to eat needlessly.
In fact there are many reasons to combine adequate water intake along with exercise to any weight loss program. One of the most fundamental of these happens to be the importance of water to the body's metabolism.
Now we've all heard about our metabolism and its importance to weight loss, but water? How does water come into play?
Fat is metabolized by the liver. The liver turns the fat into energy.
The liver also provides help to the kidneys when they are not performing at peak level. But in doing so, the liver is not able to optimally complete the function of metabolizing fat. It's busy helping the kidneys.
Now you see where the water comes into play. The kidneys require water in fairly large amounts to do their job. If your body senses that it is not getting enough water, it will begin to store water in unlikely and undesirable places.
The body's need to store water can be curtailed by consuming water consistently.
8 glasses of water each containing 8 ounces of water can do it for most people.
Overweight people as well as those living in a hot climate or exercising intensely require more, often twice the amount we think of as 'optimum'.
The great thing about the body is that it knows how to get rid of excess water it doesn't need.
It's wise to remember that most weight loss programs are going to restrict the caloric intake in some way. This automatically means you are going to be taking in less water.
In eating less, water is also lessened. Food accounts for around 30% of most people's water intake. Eat less, and you'll also reduce your water consumption.
Remember the need for water - and drink it before you feel dried out. You can add some natural flavor as well by adding lime or lemon juice.
Your body will have already begun experiencing dehydration at the point you feel thirst, and it will have already begun hanging on to every drop of water it can find.
Water actually places key role in my Weight Loss Breeze program. But I use it in totally different way than I've seen in any weight loss program before. Try it and you'll see amazing results. - 16004
