Does Water Help To Lose Weight?
We all know how important is water for body’s health and well being. There are a large number of health problems which can be prevented only by drinking the optimal amount of water that our body needs. Water makes up 75% of the body, 90% of the blood, and 85% of the brain. There is no possible way for human metabolism to function optimally if is deprived of this basic component. But how that exactly is related with weight loss? Is very much connected with metabolism, specifically the fat metabolism. The organ responsible with converting energy into fat and fat into energy is our liver. Is one of his main job, along with many others vital for our survival: detoxification, breaking down fats, converting glucose and more. Our liver plays an major in body’s metabolism. In optimal conditions, the liver shouldn’t have any problems converting fat storage into energy, or in other words burning the fat away. But you guessed right, if the fat is keep being accumulated is a sign that your liver is not doing his job. And that’s because he’s quite busy taking over the kidney’s job, detoxification, filtering and eliminating toxins from the body. And correct guess again, to work at their full capacity, the kidneys need water. Plenty of water, actually. Is a complex mechanism, but putting it simple it goes this way: by drinking enough water you allow your kidneys to do their job, which in turn will allow your liver to properly convert fat into energy. I will not mention here in how many other ways your body will greatly benefit, your skin, your blood, your brain. More than that, if you want to build muscles instead of fat, again you need a lot of water. So how much is enough water? Minimum 2 liter a day, period. Less than that will force your body to work in “emergency” mode, and actually store as much water as he can in tissues. Tips * if you really can’t stand the taste, try a slice of lemon or lime in the glass, or try flavored water, but carefully read the labels.
* is a good idea to stop drinking water about three hours before going to sleep.
* is an excellent idea to drink a full glass of water first thing in the morning and let it settle for a while before you go on with coffee or breakfast.
* there are some evidences that cold water might enhance fat burning.
* there are more evidences that drinking enough water will decrease your appetite.
* weight loss systems who actually use the natural aid of water to lose weight are Strip That Fat, and of course The Calories Shifting Method.
