The benefit of drinking more Water

Filed under: nutrition tips; Author: admin; Posted: September 27, 2006 at 9:11 am;

Maybe anyone of us is bored with this old fashion method, but think, how many really drink enough water? If you thought of, let’s say 2 or 3 8 once glasses, this in not it, better try at least 10. Yes, 10 8 ounce glasses equals one water gallon per day. This is the minimum amount of water you should drink in order to lose some weight.

This may look as an enormous amount of water but first of all, you must consider that our bodies consist of over 70 percent water and that without water you can’t live for more than a few days, where, without food you can survive even few weeks. Our body needs this water to deplete harmful toxins as well as maintain its daily functions and lose unnecessary fat.

The problem occurs if your body is not getting the exact amount of water it needs and as a consequence it will hold on to that water as much as it can and your body will become bloated. To get rid of that excess you should, even if it sounds awkward, drink more water which will let the body do its vital functions. Even if almost all of the excess that your body starts dropping afterwards is still water, this will begin to help it run more efficiently. Dropping fat, sometimes up to 4 or 5 pounds in the first week, is a consequence to that efficient run.

Another known trick is to drink ice cold water. Why? Because your metabolism will try to heat that water, in order to use it properly, and you will lose a lot of calories needed for the heating process. In this way you can burn another 500 calories per week if you drink about one gallon of ice cold water per day.
