Water
Information - Why it is important and how much you should
drink
(Sandy - sandign)
The following
are some of the things that water will help the body with:
- Supresses
apetite
- Assists
the body in metabolizing stored fat, because your liver
is overloaded when your kidneys don't get enough water.
Your liver metabolizes fat, and it can't do that 100% if
it is doing the kidneys job.
- Reduces
fat deposits in the body
- Relieves
fluid retention problems. If you don't give your body water,
it will hold it so as not to lose it.
- Reduces
soduim buildup in the body
- Helps
to maintain proper muscle tone.
- Rids
the body of waste and toxins
- Relieves
constipation
Tips on
water intake:
- Drink
a minimum of 64 ounces per day (2 quarts)
- Drink
an additional 8 ounces per day for every 25 pounds overweight
- It
is better to drink the water cold, it is absorbed quicker
and may burn more calories
- Drink
clean water, bottled or filtered
I actually
found another site that said to multiply your weight by .66
and that's how much water you should drink. Have no idea why
that number. But it also said not to go below 64 oz. |
