HYDRATION
Water is an essential nutrient.

Natural hydration

The picture of gushing water is lovely isn't it? I hope it makes you want to drink some.

Your fluid level is extremely important.
Your body is made up of 82% water and your blood 90%.

Your body's need for water is second only to it's need for air. Keeping your body well hydrated is necessary for your general overall health and is also a key part of any weight loss program.

The following are some of the things water will help with :-

It suppresses appetite.

It assists in metabolising stored fat. Your liver is overloaded when your kydneys don't get enough fluid. It is unable to efficiently metabolise fat if it is doing the kydney's job as well as its own.

It reduces fat deposits in the body.

It relieves fluid retention problems. If you don't give your body enough water, it will hold on to it so as not to lose it.

It reduces sodium buildup in the body.

It helps maintain good muscle tone.

It helps the body by carrying away wastes and toxins.

It relieves constipation.

Tips on water intake.

Drink two litres a day plus an extra glass for each 25 pounds you are overweight.

It is best to drink cold water since this aids absorption and may burn more calories.

Do not wait until you are thirsty to have a drink. If you are thirsty you are already low on fluid. Drink a little often.

Drink clean, still water, bottled or filtered
