“I’m on a diet, exercise daily and yet I do not lose weight!” This dissatisfaction is often heard by nutritionists, sport coaches and experts in body therapy. No matter how trivial it may sound, the truth is one: we can not lose weight without hydration. How many glasses of plain water did you drink today? The average human body contains 60% water. Therefore, our body functions as a car powered by water, whit a fuel composed of water, minerals, vitamins, glucose. Any process that maintains life, heals or regenerate the body is based on water.
The intake of water is determined by specialists according to sex and type of physical activity performed. The average need is 2 liters per day. Every day 2-3 liters of water are lost by breathing, digestion, perspiration, urination. 1 liter is recovered from food and in order to make up the daily need of water we have to drink water. Many people are dehydrated, but although they are thirsty, they postpone consuming a glass of water. Others do not drink water all day and then forces the kidneys because they drink more than 1 liter in minutes. Here’s how and when to drink water. Those two liters of water should be distributed evenly throughout the day: 1 liter before 4 PM and to 1 liter after 4 PM. If we drink after 4 PM a liter of water, the kidneys will clean the body and remove toxins. Stomach will be full and the appetite will be reduced.
When we want to eliminate excess pounds, it is advisable to eat unsweetened teas, soups. Digestion takes place at 38 degrees Celsius. Therefore the consumption of hot liquid (tea, soup) will accelerate digestion. Try to replace dinner with soup and hot tea. In addition they have low level of calorie, but they feel full. You can lose even three pounds a month. Important: the process of converting fat into energy (in the liver) is based on water. If not properly hydrated, the fat tissue reduction will be much more difficult.
