Water: Why Is It So Good For Our Bodies??
Hi everyone,
I was on Nutrisystem’s Support Forum and while back and notice someone asking why is it so important to drink so much water will dieting? I can relate to her because when I first started the program back in September 2005 I had the same question. Well, I came across this article that totally explains why and I have to agree with what is said in the article because my skin is so much clearer, my body feels like it is digesting much, much better and on top of that I don’t feel so lathargic any more too. So, I just had to share this article with you because it explains it much better than I could. I hope this answers anyone questions regarding wate consumption.
Enjoy,
Natasha
The Benefits Of Drinking Water
By Michelle Bery
Striving for good health and optimum weight has become something of a cultural pastime. And as experts continue to give advice regarding the benefits of diet and exercise as a program for overall well-being, they maintain the benefits of drinking water as part of this healthy lifestyle.
Over half of the human body is made up of water; it’s no wonder, therefore, that our bodies respond so well to drinking water. Medical professionals and nutritionists recommend at least sixty-four ounces of water a day in order for our systems to function at optimum levels. Water allows our body to effectively absorb the nutrients that we need from food and systematically flushes our kidneys of waste. In fact, all of our internal organs operate at higher capacity when we are well hydrated. When we are drinking water as we should be our blood thins appropriately; when we are dehydrated, blood becomes thicker making our bodies work harder to pump it. The result is overall fatigue and inefficiency.
Further, drinking water allows our body to effectively digest our food; without it our body cannot eliminate waste and keep the cycle going. It is for this reason that drinking water aids in weight loss. In addition to its effect on digestion, water also speeds our metabolism and acts as a natural appetite suppressant. It has been shown time and time again that those who are in the habit of drinking water throughout their day are far more successful and maintaining their weight throughout their lifetime.
Drinking water also has a stunning effect on our outside appearance, clearing skin and giving it a youthful, healthy glow. Few who enjoy the benefits of glowing skin can do so with adequate and frequent water intake.
Drinking water can literally be a miracle for your body, increasing health and overall body function, assisting in weight loss and weight maintenance, and giving you a youthful glow.
