Benefits Of Drinking Clean Water – Weight Loss

The answer to weight loss is all around you. If you eat right and exercise at the intensity, frequency and duration appropriate for you, but still can’t lose those excess pounds, you’re probably just not drinking enough pure water. The metabolism of fat is actually something that the liver does when it converts stored fat to energy. Unfortunately, another of the liver’s duties is to pick up the slack for the kidneys, which 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, and your bodies ability to burn fat. The problem is that though many decide to increase their water intake, very few stick with it. During the first few days of drinking more water than your body is accustomed to, you’re running to the bathroom constantly. This can be very discouraging, and it can certainly interfere with an otherwise normal day at work. What is really happening is that your body is flushing itself of the water it has been storing throughout all those years of “survival mode”. As you continue to give your body all the water it could ask for, it gets rid of what it doesn’t need. Your body trusts that the water will keep coming, and if it does, eventually, the flushing will cease. This is called the “breakthrough point”. 

 

Recommended Water Consumption

Eight glasses is okay for the average person, but if you’re overweight, you should drink another glass for every 25 pounds of excess weight you carry. You should also up this if you live in a hot climate or exercise intensely. This water consumption should be spread out throughout the day. It’s not healthy at all to drink too much water at one time.
