| Drinking Water To Lose Weight |
To survive in this world, all plants and animals need water. No life is possible on the earth without water.
Now if you ask, Why water is so important to humans? The answer will be - that 60% of human body weight is made up of water. Human bodies use water in all the cells, tissues, and organs to maintain all the functions and also to regulate body temperature.
By
breathing, digesting, and sweating our bodies lose water, it's crucial to
rehydrate and replace water by drinking fluids and eating foods that contain
water.
In
this post, we are going to describe the importance of water in losing weight,
before starting the topic let’s look at all the ways water impacts our
lives:
- Water
regulates body temperature.
- It helps by
creating saliva.
- Water
protects the tissues, spinal cord, and joints.
- Water aids
cognitive functions.
- Water
maximizes our physical performance.
- It helps to
boost our energy levels.
- Water
prevents overall dehydration (including swelling in the brain, kidney
failure, and seizures).

| The Water Diet |
Drinking
water helps to cleanse your body of waste, boost your metabolism, and
act as an appetite suppressant. More drinking of water helps to stop
retaining water, leading you to drop those extra pounds of water weight.
Water
promotes the normal functioning of many body organs including the liver and
also aids digestion. Lack of regular intake of water will decrease
fat metabolism, slow digestion, and give you the feeling that you are
bloated and tired.
Drinking
enough water increases the rate of fat burning in our liver. If you do not
drink enough amount of water, your liver ends up working exhaustively thus
storing more fat as it becomes difficult to burn fat more effectively.
So, if you want to
lose weight then you should drink a minimum amount of water per day. The U.S.
National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined
that men need to drink 3.7 liters per day and women need to drink 2.7 liters
per day. It is a general theory that is also described by some medical
research.
Actually, if you want
to apply this process in your life, drink half your body weight in ounces each
day. So, if you weigh 140 pounds, you should drink about 70 ounces of water a
day.
Drinking
ice cold water helps boost your metabolism because your body has to work harder
to warm the water up, therefore burning more calories and helping you to lose
weight. Plus, ice cold water is just so much more refreshing than water that’s
room temperature.
Replace
sweetened drinks with water. Instead of drinking smoothies, or other
high-calorie drinks, soda, or alcoholic beverages, grab a glass or bottle of
water.
Replacement
with a zero-calorie beverage for high-calorie alternatives can spare you
hundreds of calories per day, further aiding in weight loss. Drink water
before you eat drinking water before meals can make you feel fuller and
therefore reduce your food intake as it acts as an appetite suppressant.
According to WebMD which is an American corporation known primarily as an online publisher of news and information pertaining to human health said that drinking water before meals results in an average reduction in intake of 75 calories per meal.
Research shows that drinking water before just one meal per day would cause ingest 27000 fewer calories per year.
Do the math, You'd lose about eight pounds per year just from drinking water! Now imagine if you drank it before each meal.
