 The Importance of Water- An agent that precipitates weight loss.

 by Addflex

Water suppresses the appetite and helps the body metabolize stored fat. Studies have shown that a decrease in water intake causes fat deposits to increase, therefore, increasing water input reduces fat.

Why: The kidneys need water to function properly. Without sufficient water for the kidneys, the kidneys cannot work adequately and so this effects some of the water going to the liver. One of the primary functions of the liver is metabolize fat into energy for the body. If the liver needs to do some of the work of the kidneys, the liver can not work as it should to metabolize fat and so more fat is stored in the body increasing weight and not using the fat as energy

Water helps to maintain muscle stimulation in aiding muscles to contract by reducing dehydration. It is important to drink water before and after a workout. There is evidence that cold water burns calories.

An average weight person, not over weight, relative to their physique should drink eight glasses a day - 8oz. or two quarts. If one is over weight or exercises with intensity regularly or if the weather is hot and dry, more water is needed.

To emphasize:

  • Water suppresses the appetite.
  • Water metabolizes fat into energy.
  • Increasing water input, reduces fat deposits.
  • The body will not function properly without enough water and can not metabolize stored fat efficiently.
  • Retained water shows up as excess weight.
  • To get rid of excess water, one has to consume more water.
  • Drinking water is essential for weight loss.
  • Water helps muscle stimulation.
  • It is important to drink water before and after exercise.
One should drink two quarts of water
