Use
of Water for Good Health
 Water
forms a major component of the tissues and
cells of the body. Without water the human
body will survive only a few days. Water is
also a key part of any weight loss program.
Water is very necessary for helping the body
remove fat, and for general overall health.
The average person should consume 8 to 10
eight-ounce glasses of water each day.
Although water is the best
"thirst-quencher," other liquids
(such as juices, milk, sodas, and teas) can
help meet fluid needs. High sugar and high
caffeine beverages are not the best choices
because they can lead to increased
urination.
The
following are some of the benefits of water:
- Water
suppresses appetite and reduces fat
deposits in the body.
- Water not
only fills you up and lessens your
appetite, it prevents those "hungry
horrors" we all encounter when our
blood sugar drops and we reach for
cookies, candy, ice cream, fries or
other high-calorie treats. Thus it keeps
a check on your health and diet.
- Water
assists the body in metabolizing stored
fat, because your liver is overloaded
when your kidneys don't get enough
water. Your liver metabolizes fat, and
it can't do that 100% if it is doing the
kidneys job.
- Water
relieves fluid retention problems.
- It reduces
sodium buildup in the body.
- It helps
to maintain proper muscle tone.
- Water rids
the body of waste and toxins and
relieves constipation.
- Drink a
minimum of 64 ounces per day (2 quarts).
- Drink an
additional 8 ounces per day for every 25
pounds overweight.
- It is
better to drink the water cold, it is
absorbed quicker and may burn more
calories.
- Drink
clean water, bottled or filtered.
