Drink Water For Weight Control

     It sounds "rhymy" to say drink 8 glasses a day to keep the weight away, but what if it is true? What if you should follow this simple and inexpensive method of managing your weight actually works?

Incredible as it may seem, water is quite possibly the single most important catalyst in a weight management program and keeping that weight off for good.

Although most of us take it for granted, water may be the only true 'magic potion' for permanent weight loss. Water suppresses the appetite naturally and help our body metabolize stored fat.

Studies have shown that a decrease in water will cause fat deposits to increase, while an increase in water intake can actually reduce fat deposits.

Here is why! Our kidneys cannot function properly without adequate amount of water in the body.

When they do not work to their capacity, some of their load is dumped onto our liver.

One of our liver's primary function is to metabolize stored fat into usable energy for the body. But if our liver has to do some of the kidneys' work, it cannot operate at full throttle.

As a result, it metabolize less fat. More fat remain stored in our body and your-weight increases.

Fluid Retention Drinking enough water is the best treatment if you are suffering from fluid retention.

If you do not give your body enough water, it perceives this as a threat to survival and begins to hold on to every drop. Are you with me?

Water is stored in extracellular spaces (outside cells), this shows up as your feet, leg and hands are swollen.

Diuretics offer temporary solution at best, (but as you know by now, I do not recommend medication).

They force out stored water along with some essential nutrients.

Again the body perceives a threat and will replace the loss water at the first opportunity. Thus, the condition quickly returns.

The best way to overcome the problem of water retention is to give your body what it needs: plenty of water.

Only then will stored water be released and your-weight drops.

If you have a constant problem with water retention, excess salt may be theculprit to blame. These days, everything is so salt - gosh!

Your body will tolerate sodium only in a certain concentration. The more salt you eat, the more water your system retains to dilute it.

But getting rid of unneeded salt is easy, just drink more water. As it forced through the kidneys, it takes away excess sodium.

If you are over weight you need more than the thin person. Larger people have larger metabolic loads. Since we know that water is the key to fat metabolism, it follows that the overweight person needs more water. Too simple to be true, but true anyway, lose your-weight with more water.

Water helps your muscles to maintain proper tone by giving them their natural ability to contract and by preventing dehydration.

It also helps to prevent your skin from aging that usually follow weight loss. Shrinking cells are restored by water; which plumps the skin and leaves it clean, healthy and resilient, wow!.

Water is pure, water is clean, drink it for sure and you'll be lean. Drink more water for weight control.
