You will also save money when you drink water. Water is much cheaper to buy than sugary drinks. You can also buy flavored water if you don't like plain water. If you purchase a reverse osmosis water purifier for your home, (or other water purifiers), you can refill your own water bottles and save even more money. Saving money is vital in our tough economy! Water is also essential to your beauty, since water flushes out impurities out of your body. It hydrates your skin, hair and nails, which need lots of water to look and be healthy. You will also be less apt to come up with certain skin conditions, like acne, when you drink water. Your skin after all, is the largest organ of your body. Water helps to ‘plump’ up your skin naturally, from the inside out. You'll have a healthier complexion and help fight the anti aging battle. You might also try mixing lemon with your water. Lemon is naturally acidic, but it has a natural alkalizing effect on your body. Your body strives to be more alkaline, but most of the foods we eat are acidic. When you drink lemon water, you help balance the natural pH of your body. |
Another way to lose weight with water, is to drink water that's cold in the winter and warm (tepid) in the summer. This is advice from Traditional Chinese medicine. Cold water in the winter, when you're already cold, makes your body work extra hard to warm back up. Your body will expend lots more energy to keep you warm.
Likewise, the opposite is true for the summer. When you drink water that's room temperature or warmer in the summer, your body much work extra hard to cool your body temperature down. Both remedies work well to burn extra calories and get rid of fat at the same time.
You can also eat less at meals when you drink water before a meal. Water fills you up and helps you eat less food. The best advice is to drink a glass or two of plain water before your meals. Then try to abstain from drinking anything with your meals, except a sip or two.
When you consume fluids with your meals, you dilute the gastric acids in your stomach that help digest food. If they're diluted, your body has a harder time breaking down foods and absorbing the nutrients from your food. This slows down your digestive processes and may cause you to actually gain weight.
Plus, when you fill up on fluids during a meal, you are far more likely to get hungry later, because you weren't actually full from food during your meal.
The more you drink water, the better chance you'll have of fighting off cravings for sweets and other fattening foods. You should also try to drink a glass of warm lemon water when you wake up in the morning. This helps replenish your body first thing in the morning and will help energize you and wake you up. Water is much better at waking you up than coffee, although I do love my coffee too!
