Natural, healthy weight loss can occur only by increasing one’s intake of pure, healthy water. Not only the water is the number-one ingredient for a fit and healthy body on the inside; but it also plays the major and lead role in maintaining a youthful and healthy look from the outside.
The quantity and the quality of the water we consume determine the body’s ability to metabolize and shed excess fat and properly maintain the largest organ, the skin.
Weight loss is primarily the result of the liver converting stored fat into usable energy. This process not only requires sufficient water intake, but it can be greatly accelerated by consumption of an abundance of clean, healthy water. Water also suppresses the appetite naturally and helps digest food properly.
Increasing water intake naturally speeds up metabolism and allows the body to better assimilate nutrients from the foods and nutritional supplements we consume, the result being natural and healthy weight loss.
If we do not take water according to our body requirement, lower and upper intestine find it difficult to absorb nutrients from the food. The result is that most of the value of our foods and supplements is lost and passes through our body with out being absorbed.
Sugars and carbohydrates are absorbed and processed faster than other nutrients, so without an abundant intake of clean water, we can end up getting all the calories without any of the nutrition. Food cravings are primarily the result of nutrient deficiencies; it’s the body’s way of telling us we need something. If our food is not properly digested, then nutrient absorption is not sufficient, and the body keeps telling us we need something in the form of food cravings.”Sixty percent of all Americans are over weight. This is number one health problem faced by us.” -Surgeon General
A good indication of how much water is enough is to notice how much color is in your urine. Any color at all in the urine usually indicates a water deficiency, resulting in reduced nutrient absorption and a slower metabolic rate.
The quality of the water we drink also greatly impacts the body’s ability to achieve or maintain a certain weight. One of the main functions of the liver is to act as a filter and eliminate toxins from the body. The liver performs this vital process using water in a joint effort with the kidneys. If the water we consume contains chemicals like chlorine, lead or agricultural and industrial pollutants, then much of the liver’s energy is spent on filtering contaminants instead of processing fat into energy. Many recent studies have shown a link between consuming chlorinated water and thyroid dysfunction, which can lead to weight gain.
All weight-loss programs are based on reduced caloric intake and increased metabolic rate, both of which are naturally achieved with an increased intake of clean, healthy water.
Water is also the key ingredient to keep the skin moist, subtle and resilient. The best way to moisturize is from the inside.
Drinking more water will result in softer, healthier, younger-looking skin. Try it: drink an extra glass of water in the morning, one before lunch and one an hour before bedtime. You will be shocked at the results!!!
Truly, water is the key ingredient for healthier skin and natural weight loss.
