Why Water is Vital to Weight Loss
During weight loss, the body has a lot of waste to get rid off-all that metabolized
fat must be shed. Again, adequate purified water helps flush out the waste. Purified
water can help get rid of constipation. When the body gets too little water, it siphons
what it needs from internal sources. The colon is a primary source. Results? Constipation.
But, when a person drinks enough water, normal bowel function usually returns.
So far, we’ve discovered some remarkable truths about water and weight loss:…..
- The body will not function properly without enough water and cannot metabolize
stored fat efficiently.
- Retained water shows up as excess weight.
- To get rid of excess water, you must drink more water.
- Drinking water is essential to weight loss.
-Considering the health risks of Tap water and Bottled Water, it is better to use
filtered Water.
HOW MUCH WATER IS ENOUGH
On the average, a person should drink eight (8) ounce glasses every day. That’s about
2 quarts. However, the overweight person needs one additional glass for every 25 pounds
of excess weight.
The amount you drink also should be increased if you exercise briskly or if water is hot
and dry.
Water should preferably be cold…It is adsorbed into the system more quickly than warm
water. And some evidence suggests that drinking cold water can actually help burn
calories.
To utilize water most efficiently during weight loss, follow this schedule:
Morning: 1 quart consumed over 30-minute period.
Noon: 1 quart consumed over a 30-minute period.
Evening: 1 quart consumed between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m.
When the body gets the water it needs to function optimally- its fluids are perfectly
balanced. When this happens, you have reached the “breakthrough point.” What does this
mean?
- Endocrine-gland function improves.
- Fluid retention is alleviated as stored water is lost.
- More fat is used as fuel because the liver is free to metabolize stored fat.
- There is loss of hunger almost overnight.
If you stop drinking enough water, your body fluids will be thrown out of balance
again, and you may experienced fluid retention, unexplained weight gain and loss of thirst. To remedy the situation you will have to go back and force another “breakthrough.”
Get first a good weight loss program and don’t forget the importance of water.
Take action and starts living a healthier and longer life.
