Water Weight Loss

by Mercy Maranga

Most people do not know how important water is for weight loss. Indeed, water is essential to everyone. Whether they want to lose weight, gain weight or stay the same! We all know we can't live without water. It helps in the following:

 - Helps in digestion, absorption and assimilation of food. If you don't drink enough water you can't get the full benefit of nutrients in the food you eat.

 - Helps in excretion of waste from bowel and kidneys. If you don't drink enough water you get constipated and put your kidneys under stress.

 - Regulates body temperature. If you don't drink enough water you compromise the evaporation process your skin uses to keep you cool.

 - Your blood is 92% water. This is your body's transport system distributing nutrients around the body.

 - Body secretions and digestive juice are almost entirely water.

 Water is a natural appetite suppressant. Lack of water can lead to over eating. Your brain does not differentiate between hunger and thirst. So, when you think you are feeling hungry, your body may in fact be telling that you are thirsty! If you are not consuming enough water each day and you feel hunger pangs, chances are that your body needs water

 The average person needs around 6-8 large glasses every day. The aim is to drink water consistently. If you drink too much all at once or too fast, it will simply pass through you, with little or no benefit to your body. By doing this, you will experience weight loss.
