WATER, A POWERFUL AID TO HEALTHY WEIGHTLOSS

by Lea Davies

There is only one thing more important to our survival than water and that’s oxygen, but given the fact that our bodies are made up of around 70% water, it comes a very close second, playing a major part in our health and well being, making it an absolute must for our everyday diet. Putting it simply, We cannot live without it.

It’s also a powerful aid in the seemingly never ending battle for weightloss. Overweight people the whole world over, are either joining slimming clubs, or searching the net for the best weight loss programme or for diet advice in general, all asking the same question, “how can I lose weight?. Simple, if you need help to lose weight, drink more water. It doesn’t contain any calories or cholesterol and if you drink a glass 30 minutes before eating, it will help to make you feel less hungry.

Without sufficient water intake, the kidney’s cannot function properly, so the liver has to come and lend a hand which then means that the liver will have a bigger workload and will not be able to work to it’s full potential. The purpose of the liver is to metabolize body fat but because it can’t work at full throttle, less body fat will be metabolized and more will be stored. Not the best news if your dieting eh!! But if you increase your water intake, guess what, problem solved.

Lack of proper hydration is a common cause for headaches (remember that hangover ?) and seeing that the brain is made up of around 70% water, it just make sense to replenish it with a glass or three. If you have a headache, try this before taking any medication. It would be better for you than putting any unnecessary chemicals into your body.

Your body flushes out many toxins and waste products, including body fat, through your urine, the colour of which is a good indicator as to wether or not you are getting enough water. If it’s clear, good, your on the right path, if it isn’t, then you need to drink more water.

So, if anyone ever asks you “what can I do to help me lose weight?” you can point them in the direction of the water tap, telling them that this is the best place to start for easy weightloss.

Try drinking at least 1-1.5 litres of water a day for Two weeks. Even in such a small space of time, I’m sure that you will feel many health benefits, especially if you could make it the only thing that you drink -:)

HAPPY DRINKING!!
