DRINK Yourself THIN?
 

 Water & Fat Loss…

Studies have shown that low water intake will hinder fat loss . . . increasing water consumption can help you lose fat faster.

Here are the reasons why:

Without sufficient water, the kidneys cannot function properly. The extra 'cleaning load' is transferred to the liver for help. One of the liver's primary functions is to metabolize fat, but the extra load passed on by the kidneys slows down fat processing. Extra water keeps the kidneys flushed, thus allowing the liver to metabolize more fat.

Won't drinking more water cause more fluid retention?

Quite the opposite -- drinking more water will allow you to lose fluid! When your body gets too little water, it interprets this as a threat to survival and holds onto every precious drop.

Fluid retention can also be caused by excess salt intake. There are two solutions for this:

1. Reduce sodium intake.

2. Drink more water.

Some people choose to use diuretics to reduce fluid retention. Results are temporary and they can deplete important nutrients.

Some nice fringe benefits!

Here are some more important benefits that water offers . . .

• Flushes waste & detoxifies

• Helps relieve constipation

An easy method to ensure that you get enough water . . .

You will need to drink at least 64 ounces each day. This amounts to eight 8 ounce glasses, or two quarts.

Here's an easy method for monitoring your water intake . . . Use a large, 32 ounce cup or bottle; drink one cup/bottle during the morning, and one during the remainder of the day. If a 32-ounce container seems too large, use a 22-ounce cup or bottle and drink three cups each day. This is in addition to other beverages such as tea, coffee and sodas.
