Health experts have always talked about the importance of drinking water but it has some specific, positive
effects on weight loss. Once you look at some of the benefits, you will want to add more to your daily routine.
Water Suppresses Appetite
Filling up with water will help you eat less but there is a proper way to do it. Drink a glass of water about 30 minutes before a meal to eat less of the meal. Drink another glass about a half-hour after the meal to keep your tummy full.
Water Speeds Up Metabolism
This is excellent news for those struggling with metabolism. Water seems to stimulate heat production and the body expends energy to warm the fluid to body temperature. This increased energy makes your metabolism run faster. For best results, drink chilled water.
Water Helps the Body Burn Fat
Water helps your body run more effectively and that includes burning fat. The process of your body burning fat for energy is called lipolysis. A 2016 mini-review published in Frontiers in Nutrition indicates that increased
water intake also increases lipolysis.
Water Helps Blood Flow
Water keeps your blood from becoming too thick and clogged. Good blood circulation helps when you exercise and is better for your overall health. That will help with weight loss. It keeps you hydrated during activities too, allowing you to do them longer.
Making it taste better
Water may not be the most exciting thing to drink but it is an important part of weight loss. You can make it taste better by adding lemon, watermelon, strawberries, or cucumber to it to give it a refreshing flavor. Those are fruits and vegetables that have other health benefits too
Conclusion
Water is essential to life and can be a great help to dieters. It helps your whole body function better and that will ultimately help you lose weight. It also keeps you from drinking sugary drinks, which will throw your diet off kilter.
