    Drinking water aids in weight loss: Here's how

    The process of losing weight involves many steps. One of them is drinking adequate amount of water. Studies focused on the effect of water on weight loss have come out, with positive results further establishing the usefulness of this step. So, let's find out how drinking water helps in shedding some extra kilos, and to do so, how much of water is required.

    Water is an appetite suppressant, prevents intake of unnecessary calories

    The statement, "You are not hungry, you are just thirsty," is true, because water can actively suppress appetite. This is why drinking a glass of water before eating meals helps to reduce the amount of food intake and curb unnecessary snacking. Studies have also shown that drinking 500 milliliters of water 30 minutes before meals, along with regular water consumption, may reduce body weight.

    It ensures elimination of toxins that can cause weight gain

    An average human needs water to enable proper functioning of our organs, which are essential for all bodily processes. Dehydration specifically targets digestive process and causes problems like constipation. Water eases path for digestion, and eliminates waste, toxins from fat. It also relieves any pent up weight from waste build up in the body. Thus, hydration keeps the key causes of weight gain away.

    Water is responsible for keeping our metabolism up and running

    Good metabolism is the key to lose weight. Water can, in fact, accentuate your metabolism. In the very first step of the process, water molecules need to interact with triglycerides (fats) to create glycerol and fatty acids. This requires adequate intake of water. Water not only burns fat, it also increases the amount of calories you burn.

    Drinking water can reduce overall calories induced by sugary liquids

    Sugary drinks that are repackaged as health drinks are part of the unnecessary cravings, and can unknowingly increase your calories intake. Even fruit juices, especially the processed ones, contain a lot of calories. When you are thirsty, instead of beverages like soda and sweetened iced teas, drink normal water. Doing this can reduce the sugary calories, curb your hunger, and boost weight loss process.

    But how much of it can boost weight loss?

    You need to consume a gallon of water, which is approximately 3.8 litres everyday, in order to boost the weight loss process. To increase your water intake, use drinking cups or measured bottles and mugs to keep a tab on the quantity. Putting up a visual or digital reminder on your electronic devices can help as well.
