7 Reasons why you should drink water to lose weight

Water is cheap and affordable and you may wonder why ordinary water is important for weight loss. Read on and find out.

1) Initial weight loss is largely due to loss of water, and you need to drink an adequate amount of water in order to avoid dehydration.

2) The process of burning calories requires an adequate supply of water in order to function efficiently; dehydration slows down the fat- burning process.

3) Drink plenty of water. Our body needs a lot of water so give in to it. Burning calories produces toxins (think of the exhaust coming out of your car), and water plays a vital role in flushing them out of your body. But if you have more water in your body you will generally feel healthier and fitter. The best thing about water is that is has no calories at all.


4) Water assists muscles in their ability to contract and lubricates the joints. Proper hydration helps to reduce muscle and joint soreness when exercising.

5) Drink a glass of water before you start the meal. Water naturally needs some space so that you feel fuller without actually having to stuff yourself.

6) Have another glass of water while you are having the meal. Again this is another way of making yourself full so that you can actually rise from the table eating less but feeling full just the same.

7) Start your day with a glass of water. As soon as you wake up, gulp down a glass of cool water. It’s a wonderful way to start you day and you only need a lesser quantity of your breakfast drink after that.
