Water & 20 Tips For Getting Your 8 Glasses Daily
How 8 Glasses a Day Keeps Fat Away=20
Incredible as it may seem, water is quite possibly the single most = important catalyst in losing
weight and keeping it off. Although most of = us take it for granted, water may be the only true
"magic potion" for = permanent weight loss!=20
Water suppresses the appetite naturally and helps the body metabolize = stored fat. Studies have
shown that a decrease in water intake will = cause fat deposits to increase, while an increase in
water intake can = actually reduce fat deposits. Here's why: The kidneys can't function = properly
without enough water. When the kidneys don't work to capacity, = some of their load is dumped onto
the liver. One of the liver's primary = functions is to metabolize stored fat into usable energy for
the body. = If the liver has to do some of the kidney's work, it can't operate at = full throttle.
As a result, it metabolizes less fat, more fat remains = stored in the body, and weight loss stops.
Drinking enough water is the = best treatment for fluid retention. When the body gets less water, it
= perceives this as a threat to survival and begins to hold on to every = drop. Water is stored in
extra cellular spaces (outside the cells). This = shows up as swollen feet, legs and hands.
Diuretics offer a temporary = solution at best. They force out stored water along with some
essential = nutrients. Again, the body perceives a threat and will replace the lost = water at the
first opportunity. Thus, the condition quickly returns. The = best way to overcome the problem of
water retention is to give the body = what it needs.PLENTY OF WATER. Only then will the stored water
be = released. If you have a constant problem with water retention, excess = salt may be to blame.
Your body will tolerate sodium only in a certain = concentration. The more salt you eat, the more
water your system retains = to dilute it. But getting rid of un-needed salt is easy - just drink =
more water. As it's forced through the kidneys, it takes away excess = sodium. The overweight person
needs more water than the thin one! Larger = people have larger metabolic loads. Since we know that
water is the key = to fat metabolism, it follows that the overweight person needs more = water.
Water helps maintain proper muscle tone by giving muscles their = natural ability to contract and by
preventing dehydration. It also helps = to prevent the sagging skin that usually follows weight loss
- shrinking = cells are buoyed by water, which plumps the skin and leaves it clear, = healthy, and
resilient. Water helps rid the body of waste. During weight = loss, the body has a lot more waste to
get rid of - all the metabolized = fat must be shed. Again, adequate water helps flush out the
waste. Water = can help relieve constipation. When the body gets too little water, it = siphons what
it needs from internal sources. The colon is one primary = source. Result? Constipation. But, when a
person gets enough water, = normal bowel functions returns. So far, we've discovered some remarkable
= truths about water and weight loss:=20
The body will not function properly without enough water and can't = 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. 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 the weather = is hot
and dry. Water should preferably be cold - it's absorbed into the = system more quickly than warm
water. And some evidence suggests that = drinking cold water can actually help burn calories. When
the body gets = the water it needs to function optimally, its fluids are perfectly = balanced. Once
this happens you have reached the "breakthrough point". = What does this mean?=20
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.
Natural thirst returns.
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 experience fluid retention, unexplained = weight gain and loss of thirst. To remedy the
situation you'll have to = go back and force another "breakthrough".=20
