Drinking Water and Weight Loss
By Robert | October 13, 2009
Not everyone knows it, but drinking water and weight loss are closely related, especially if you want to lose 10 pounds fast. Water is a necessity for our very survival and for maintaining good health. Water is very important to your overall health. It helps to flush out impurities in the body. Water also carries oxygen and nutrients from our daily food consumption to other parts of our body. Water helps to keep our bodies free of toxins and impurities and allows our system to carry nutrients and oxygen to where they are needed in the body.
Anyone who wants to lose weight must make sure that they are keeping properly hydrated by drinking plenty of water daily. Water can reduce the urge to overeat by making you feel full, ensure the maintenance of proper body temperature and prevents dehydration. Water is vital to body temperature maintenance and of course, if you dont get enough water, dehydration will result.
Dehydration is a serious medical problem as it can lead to such medical problems such as kidney failure, shock, coma, electrolyte imbalances, and other health problems. Replacing lost fluids as soon as possible is vitally important when dehydration occurs.
Medical treatment for dehydrated patients consists of introducing fluids by IV as well as through drinking small quantities of water frequently.
A common question is, ‘how much water should I drink per day?’ It is always taught by the medical profession that the suggested amount is eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day.
It is thought that water does speed up metabolism by approximately 30 per cent so in drinking water we can expect it to play a part in our overall weight loss.
Drinking at least eight glasses of water per day not only keeps your body properly hydrated but also flushes waste and toxins from the body. Drinking a glass of water approximately 10 to 15 minutes before each meal with a glass in between each meal will be beneficial in our weight loss attempts.
Don’t wait until tomorrow to start getting the water your body needs. Get up and go drink one glass of water. You will feel the difference immediately. If you were about to have a snack a few minutes ago, you’ll find that you don’t feel nearly so hungry after drinking water. You have consumed zero calories when you might have consumed a few hundred if you had eaten that snack. Think of the calories that you just saved yourself by doing this
Upon arising each day drink a glass of water. Some people prefer spring water or filtered water. Water is very refreshing and your body desires it although you might not think so. Before each meal drink a glass of water. About an hour after your meal drink another glass and repeat this pattern. Keep track of the glasses of water that you are consuming each day if you have trouble remembering. Before you know it you will have consumed the suggested 64 ounces of water without even realizing it. Keep a diary of your weight loss now that you have taken the steps to hydrate your body with the water and you will see that drinking water and weight loss is effective in accomplishing your goals.
