Water And Weight Loss

There is one easy weight loss remedy that almost all of us take for granted. Water. Pure, clean water is a true magic potion for losing weight. We all know that we should drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, and that there are significant health benefits from staying hydrated, however the benefit of added weight loss often goes overlooked.

Coming into the New Year, many people try, as they have many times before, to take off the extra weight they've packed on from the holidays. Eating right and getting plenty of heart-pumping exercise are great ways to rid your body of those unwanted pounds, but sometimes it's hard to stick with a diet and fitness regimen. That's where water steps up to the plate. Adding water to your weight-loss regimen is a simple way to melt the pounds away. Your kidneys need plenty of water to function properly. Without enough water, the kidneys cannot handle their work load and consequently, the excess work is dumped on the liver. The liver's main function is to metabolize stored fat into usable energy for the body. However, when the liver picks up the kidneys' slack, it metabolizes less fat and more fat is stored in the body, therefore hindering weight loss! Eight glasses of water a day; seems like a lot, doesn't it? In reality, it's not that much at all. Eight 8-ounce glasses is equivalent to two quarts of water. Here are some tips to help you stay hydrated all day: � Keep your water consumption spread throughout the day. Try to pick 3-4 times a day when you will drink a big glass of water.

� Don't like the taste of water? Add a slice of lemon, lime or orange to amp up the flavor.

� Carry a full bottle of water with you through the day and constantly sip at it while going on with your daily business. You'll be amazed at how much you drink when you aren't paying attention! � Finally, never wait until you're thirsty. Thirst signals that your body is already dehydrated. So, the moral of the story is: Drink more water! It keeps you're your body functioning like a well-oiled machine and keeps you on target with your weight-loss goals.
