Can drinking water help you lose weight?
Well, Yes and No. To deal with the No
part first; drinking water in itself will not make you lose weight. But
drinking water, at least the recommended six to eight glasses, a day can help
improve satiety thereby reducing unhealthy snacking and large food portions.
Another advantage is that by drinking water instead of sugary drinks like
Soda and juices you will be cutting down calories. So, in that way you could
end up losing weight.
But even if not for weight loss, water is important
for anyone hoping to have a long healthy life. Water is good in helping us
avoid constipation, can help maintain muscle tone by assisting muscle in their
ability to contract, it also lubricates joints, helps flush out toxins and aides the supply of oxygen by eliminating
dehydration. So drink more water.
You should note that water has ZERO calories.
So next time you feel thirsty, don’t reach for Soda, get some Water!
