Role of Calcium in Rapid Weight Loss
Yes I hear you; you probably think you know all about this water 'thing'. People are always going on about how important it is and how we don't drink enough of it. But do you know how and why it's the number 1 for those of us who need to lose weight? Well I'll give you a few of the facts, and then you can make your own mind up. FACT. Drinking water may be the most important piece in the weight loss puzzle. Water contains no calories, fat, or cholesterol and is low in sodium. Perfect, but that's not all.
FACT. It's nature's appetite suppressant; dinking a glass of water when you feel hungry really will take the edge off your appetite. FACT. Water helps the body to metabolize fat. Current research shows that people who have a low water intake increase their fat deposits. On the other hand, people with a high water intake reduce the amount of fat deposits. You see, without enough water, the kidneys cannot function properly. As a result, some of their workload is pushed off onto the liver, in turn preventing the liver from operating at peak levels.
How does all this tie into weight loss? Well... FACT. Metabolizing (processing) fat is a primary function of the liver, and because the liver can't function at peak levels when taking on the added workload from the kidneys, less body fat is metabolized and more is stored. FACT. This leads to either weight gain or reaching a plateau. To increase your ability to metabolize fat and lose weight, you should drink plenty of clean water to improve your kidney and liver functions.
OK That's the science so what do we do now?It's recommended that you drink 8 glasses of water per day, although most people don't often drink that much. Water provides a number of other benefits when we're trying to lose weight. Many times when you think you feel hungry, you're actually thirsty. Drinking a glass of water takes the feeling away. So, when you think you are feeling hungry, your body may in fact be signaling to you that you are thirsty! If you're not consuming enough water each day and you feel hunger pains chances are, your body really is crying out for water. In many instances people will find what they thought were hunger pangs were in fact, satisfied by water. Try it! You have nothing to lose, except some weight.
