Drinking water and losing weight!
Most of us don't drink enough water. "Drink 8 glasses of water every day" is what we hear all the time but does it really help losing the extra fat in our body? The answer is Yes! It does.
If you eat right and exercise well, but still can't get rid of that extra fat here and there, you're probably just not drinking enough water.
Metabolism of fat is a process in which liver converts stored fat into energy. Kidneys need plenty of water to work properly. If the kidneys are water-deprived, the liver has to do their work along with its own, lowering its total productivity. It then can't metabolize fat as quickly or efficiently as it could when the kidneys were pulling their own weight. So by not drinking drink enough water, we are not only giving over load to our liver but also helping the fat get stored.
Though many of us decide to increase our water intake, very few stick with it. Most of us quit because; first few days we keep running to the bathroom constantly. It can interfere with an otherwise normal day at work. It seems that the water is coming out just as fast as it's going in. The reason is, our body needs some time trusting that the water will keep coming, and if it does, eventually, the flushing will stop, allowing us to return to a normal life
Water is very good for our skin, it's the best beauty treatment. You must have heard this since high school, and it's true. Water will do wonders for our looks! It flushes out impurities in the skin, leaving us with a clear, glowing complexion. Water also makes our skin look younger. Skin that is getting saggy, due to aging or weight loss, plumps up very well when the skin cells are hydrated.
This water consumption should be spread out throughout the day. It's unhealthy to drink too much water at one time. Most of the times we tend not to drink water, because it's not readily available. So I would like to suggest something I do to make sure that I drink enough water; I fill a bottle full, in the morning, keep it up on my kitchen table, and take a sip whenever I look at it. or you can carry a water bottle to work. When you drink all the water you need, you will notice a decrease in your appetite. If you're serious about becoming slimmer and healthier, drinking water is a must.
Health Tips:
1. Drink Methi(Fenugreek) water in empty stomach, in the morning. This increases your metabolism of fat; and hence help lose weight.
(soak 1 tspn full Methi seeds in 1 glass of water over night, drain and drink the water)
2. If you are having difficulty in drinking plain water through out the day, you can replace few glasses with lemonade (lime juice + water+ salt).
