Reasons Advocating Use Of Water For Weight Loss!
I know you have heard about the fat-decaying abilities of water – but there are also other facts advocating why everyone should start drinking 8 or more 8 to 10 oz glasses of water per day.
The most important reason is this much water consumption itself is a good weight loss program. Water is probably the weight loss rule that is most over-looked and not everyone realizes what it can really do for you – no matter what diet program you are on.
On top of that – it is also cheap, safe and is easy to obtain (at least in developed countries).Without side-effects it is tasteful.Money on non effective supplements are saved by using water as a weight reduction agent.
There are some people who don’t like the taste or feel that water is tasteless so they don’t drink much of it .But there are other reasons that someone doubtlessly comes up with a new reason every day.
But I am one cynical who has seen the profits.I could scarcely walk due to back spasms and knee pain as well as being about 40 lbs overweight 6 months before. I was also short of breath and just a walk from my apartment to my car was something that I almost could not do.I live in a second story building which has a flight of steps that is really short – but I could hardly make it up the stairs and was approximately energyless before I could unlock my front door.As a result I nearly kept myselt within the house.
I was prone to high blood pressure and my blood tests were indicating Impared glucose tolerance.And, I was just 58 which by today’s measures really isn’t very old.My doctor has warned me several times to work on my weight but my back hurt, I was too tired, and I was unable to breathe. I had acid reflux disease.
Today, I have lost 30 lbs, and almost run up and down the stairs.My blood pressure is normal and walking to my car is also easy. I no longer am bothered by acid reflux. My back only hurts occasionally and when it does bother me, it is not the severe back pain that kept me from walking.Now, I will acknowledge I am not running any races or walking far a day, but I am more forceful than I was in years.
To do so wasn’t really hard. I really didn’t change my diet except for cutting down my portions (still eat chocolate chip mint ice cream).All candy or snacks from my refrigerator is cut and low fat or no fat items are kept.I have also reduce my intake of diet drinks with caffeine about half but these changes are not that much of a big deal.
Water has become essential part of my daily schedule and I take as much water as I can but I can’t seem to get enough of it. So my theory is that I have probably been dehydrated for years and years and it put my whole body out of whack. Water – just plain water from my water faucet – not ice cold with a lot of ice cubes – just water, plain, and unflavored water.
So I am living proof – water is good for weight loss as well as a lot of other good health changes and benefits.
