Water for weight loss and health
If you exercise, eat right, and the weight does not want to go away, then one of the reasons may be a lack of water in the body. After all, as you know, a person is 2/3 water. It is water that is the main medium, as well as a participant in the countless reactions that underlie life. All metabolic processes take place only with the participation of water. Lack of water can cause you to be overweight, as well as headaches, insomnia, and feeling unwell.
What happens if the body lacks water
With insufficient use of water, it is difficult to remove those decay products (toxins) that arise in the body in the course of its vital activity. This is fraught with the fact that dehydration occurs, and slags are deposited in the organs that utilize or excrete decay products.
Whether water really plays such an important role in human health will be examined in a simple experiment. Imagine that an aquarium with water is your body and sugar is the food you eat every day. Some nutrients are absorbed, and some remain the same as undissolved sugar lumps remained at the bottom of our aquarium. The question arises: how to make this liquid in the aquarium clean, transparent and sugar-free again? If we can simply pour out the liquid from the aquarium and fill it again with clean water, then we cannot do this with the body. Hence the conclusion: it is necessary to pour clean water into the aquarium until the polluted water is completely gone.
It is the same with the body - you need to drink clean water. It is she who will help to remove all decay products, toxins and guaranteed to lose weight.
What kind of water should you drink?
Now you need to figure out which water is better to drink? Can I drink tap water? This question can be answered by studying 2 factors.
1 factor - whether specific regional sanitary and hygienic standards are observed. These are quite stringent requirements for drinking water.
The second factor is local peculiarities. For example, if the water supply system in a particular house is destroyed, there are cracks in pipes or the location of the system in frequently flooded basements …
In this case, even the best water that will come from the centralized water supply becomes unsuitable for consumption.
Therefore, it is not recommended to use tap water. Tap water must be filtered or purified water must be purchased. By the scale in the kettle, by the color of the water, you can determine what kind of pollutant you have in your home. If there is scale in the kettle, the water is hard. This means that you need a filter that effectively removes water hardness. If the water is yellow it is most likely iron and a filter is needed to remove the iron. Each filter has its own recipe. When filtering, it is necessary to take into account the composition of the water and buy a filter aimed at purifying specific water containing specific impurities in its composition.
Why is dehydration dangerous?
Few people know that the water content in a child's body is 90%, in an adult's body - 70-80%. At the end of life, the water content in the human body can drop to 55%. This suggests that throughout life we all slowly dry out. The body cannot retain water for long. He is forced to constantly receive it with food.
Dehydration is a symptom that can cause many diseases, such as pneumonia, diabetes mellitus, cancer, and poisoning. The amount of fluid entering the body should correspond to the amount of fluid excreted from the body. And if more is removed, dehydration is obtained.
If the body does not get enough water, this can be a big problem. In order to understand how much the body is dehydrated, you can use a fairly simple topic: take your hand and pinch the skin with your thumb and forefinger. If the amount of water is normal, then releasing the pinch, we see that the fold quickly disappears and it is no longer there. If the liquid content is reduced, the tuft is smoothed out slowly. But this method alone cannot be relied upon, since it is not always correct.
How to calculate how much water to drink per day?
There are several opinions:
1. It is enough to drink 1.5-2 liters of water per day in addition to food, this will be enough to remove toxins and purify. In summer heat or when we sweat a lot, this amount can be increased to 2-3 liters.
2. Calculate individually using the formula: 25-30 ml of water per 1 kg of your weight. And with an active lifestyle or hot weather, 30-40 ml of water per 1 kg of your weight. The increased rate should also be used by those who want to be slim and lose weight. This includes plain water, water that we drink in the form of various drinks, water that comes with food.
Many world stars follow this advice. Start today and you! And remember the good truth: if you want to eat, drink. If you want to eat in 20 minutes - eat!
