That's right! If you wait until you're thirsty to drink water, it's too late! You're body is already dehydrated. Chalene Johnson reminded me of this in a recent tweet and she's so very right.
Another little known fact about water; the overweight person needs more water than the thin one. Larger people have larger metabolic loads. Since we know that water is the key to fat metabolism, it follows that the overweight person needs more water.
Water helps to maintain proper muscle tone too. It gives muscles their natural ability to contract. Water also helps to prevent the sagging skin that usually follows weight loss-shrinking cells are buoyed by water, which plumps the skin and leaves it clear, healthy and resilient.
Water helps rid the body of waste. During weight loss, the body has a lot more waste to get rid of-all that metabolized fat must be shed. Again, adequate water helps flush out waste.
So...here's just a few more reasons why you need to make sure your body gets the adequate supply of water it needs each and every day! Who knew that the best way to mobilize your weight loss lies right in the kitchen sink. So get yourself a filter for your faucet and drink up!
