Drink Water to Lose Weight and Get Healthier
Water is one of the seven essential nutrients. Why? Read these five great reasons for why you need to be drinking more water and how it will help you lose weight and get healthier.
1) Helps your body absorb nutrients from the foods you eat.
2) You will feel more “full” and satisfied during and in between meals. This will help prevent over eating and over snacking.
3) Makes it easier for your heart to beat/pump because your blood is thinner. This is important for all day, and critical for while you are working out because you are sweating and your blood then is losing water and becoming thicker. Thicker or more viscus water is more difficult for your heart to pump. You want to make things as easy on your heart as possible, because it never gets a rest.
4) Increases energy – many times we feel sluggish, hungry, or crave food or sugar when we are dehydrated. Ice cold water can enhance the feeling of a lift in our energy.
5) Great for skin, releasing impurities from your body, and increasing circulation!
