Incredible
as it might seem, water is quite possibly the single most
important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off. 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 helps the body metabolize
stored fat. Studies have shown that a decrease in water intake
will cause fat deposits. Here’s why: The kidneys can’t function
properly without enough water. When they don’t work to capacity,
some of the load is dumped into the liver. One of the liver’s
primary functions is to metabolize stored fat into usable
energy for the body. But if the liver has to do some of the
kidney’s work, it can’t operate at full throttle. As a result,
it metabolizes less fat, more fat remains stored on the body
and weight loss stops.
Drinking
enough water is also the best treatment for fluid retention.
When the body gets less water, it perceives this as a threat
to survival and begins to hold onto every drop. Water is stored
in extracellular spaces (outside the cells). This shows up
as swollen feet, legs and hands. Diuretics offer a temporary
solution at best. They force out stored water along with some
essential nutrients. Again, the body perceives a threat and
will replace the lost water at the first opportunity. Thus
the condition quickly returns.
The
best way to overcome the problem of water retention is to
give the body what it needs plenty of water. Only then will
the stored water be released.
If
you have a constant problem with water retention, excess salt
may be to blame. Your body will tolerate sodium in certain
concentration. The more salt you eat, the more water your
body retains to dilute it. But getting rid of excess salt
is easy just drink more water. As it is forced through the
kidneys, it takes away excess sodium.
The
overweight person needs more water than the thin one. 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.
Water
helps to maintain proper muscle tone by giving the muscles
their natural ability to contract and by preventing dehydration.
It also helps to prevent the sagging skin that usually follows
weight loss shrinking cells are buoyed by water, which plumps
the skin and leaves it clear, healthy and resilient.
Water
helps rid the body of waste, During weight loss, the body
has a lot more waste to get rid of all that metabolized fat
must be shed. Water helps flush out that waste.
