Water - Key to Good Health

Funny as it may appear, water 

although always taken for granted may be the single most important tool in 

losing weight and staying healthy.  

Water does wonders as it 

naturally suppresses the appetite 

and helps wonderfully in 

metabolizing the fat

that is stored in your body. Many studies have shown that a decrease water intake can cause fat deposits to increase, while increasing your water intake you can actually reduce your fat deposits.   

Water

can help in maintaining proper muscle tone 

by aiding in your muscle’s ability to contract, and is also very helpful for your skin and can prevent sagging skin that comes with age and weight loss, which shrinking cells are buoyed by water which plumps the skin and leaves it 

resilient, healthy, and clear, giving you that “glow”, 

that appears with healthy people.

Water 

is very important in ridding the body of toxins and waste 

especially during weight loss as the body has a lot more wastes to dump, because all of the metabolized fat has to go somewhere.  If the body gets too little water it begins to take it from the internal organs and the colon, and the end result turns into constipation.  By drinking water your 

normal bowel functions can work properly.

Also, when you drink less water 

your body automatically goes into survival mode and begins to store every ounce of water in your body. So it is important to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day to keep all your inner functions working properly.

How much water should we drink?

It is suggested for a person to drink 

8 eight glasses of water per day.

 Although an overweight person will need to drink one additional glass of water for every 12 kg of excess weight.  

Keep in mind that if you exercise you should consume more as well.  It is best to drink water when cold as it is absorbed faster into your system than warm water and can immediately up your metabolism which can cause you to burn more calories.

So by keeping to this water ration you will certainly 

enjoy proper body functions 

which equally great health 

and although your doctor will miss seeing you, you will most certainly be the better for it all
thanks to water.
