Water Helps Keep Fat Away
Water is a key part of any weight loss program. It is very necessary for helping the body remove fat, and for general overall health.
The following are some of the things that water will help the body with:
Suppresses appetite
Assists the body in metabolizing stored fat, because your liver is overloaded when your kidneys don't get enough water. Your liver metabolizes fat, and it can't do that 100% if it is doing the kidneys job.
Reduces fat deposits in the body
Relieves fluid retention problems. If you don't give your body water, it will hold it so as not to lose it.
Reduces sodium buildup in the body
Helps to maintain proper muscle tone.
Rids the body of waste and toxins
Relieves constipation
Tips on water intake:
Drink a minimum of 64 ounces per day (2 quarts)
Drink an additional 8 ounces per day for every 25 pounds overweight
It is better to drink the water cold, it is absorbed quicker and may burn more calories
Drink clean water, bottled or filtered
