Water is an underrated tool used in weight loss. But it not only help's the body in its metabolism, it helps in the transport of fluids around the body.
Water helps to keep the joints lubricated, and this is especially important when doing exercise. Drink plenty water both during, and after, exercising.
And water helps to move the fiber out of your body, and adds bulk to it so that you will feel fuller for longer. This helps to quell the appetite. The average person requires 64 ounces (1.9L) minimum for this.
Another great attribute of water, is that it enables the body, each day, to properly absorb the necessary nutrients it needs into the body's tissues.
If we want to keep up our energy levels throughout the day, water is vitally important. The consumption of water should be evenly spread through the day. A recommended level is 6 ounces (170 ml) every hour (except when exercising).
For best effects, water should be drunk slowly. Depending on the temperature of the water, the reaction of the body will vary.
If you want to lose 10 pounds quickly, remember that the body is better able to absorb water when it is at room temperature. But the ice water is better for calorie burning. So the best method is to drink both ice and tepid water, every other time
This becomes clear when you realise that the body needs to heat up the ice water, and it burns calories doing this. But the water at room temperature prevents the body from retaining tissue fluid, so this will also help you to lose weight.
If you get dehydrated, the body will begin to store water in tissues, for protection. This could add 5 pounds to your weight!
Regularly drinking water is a good way to keep away hunger, even more so when you stick to the drinking of both ice water and tepid water alternately. And use purified water only - this is the easiest for your body to process.
If you want to lose 10 pounds, remember that drinking more water will boost the metabolism of the body. The more water you drink, the lower will your fat deposits be.
The reason for this, is that your liver will not need to work nearly as hard metabolizing the fat. The liver is the main organ used by the body for fat burning.
That is why it is so important to consume lots of water when you are exercising. When you are doing all that strenuous activity, you are sweating and your heart is racing, the sludge produce needs to be flushed out of your body.
After exercise, drink 16 to 24 ounces (470 to 700 ml). This will help the cleaning process greatly. It gives an easy exit for all the toxins. The more water you provide for your liver, the more effectively it can function.
Water is the main weapon used by the body for detoxification, and helps the liver to sort the nutrients from the toxins. It will help to boost your energy levels, and keep your waistline down.
So go ahead and enjoy more water each day. Try to make it a part of your daily routine, rather than something you turn to occasionally. You will lose 10 pounds faster!
