You may have heard before that water is
considered the greatest weight loss drink in the world. Water is needed for
virtually every metabolic process. It helps flush toxins out of the body. It
helps give you energy. And much of what we perceive as hunger -- driving us to
overeat -- is actually thirst.
But even though every nutritionist recommends drinking plenty of water, we
haven't always had a lot of research to back up what most of us "knew"
intuitively.
Now we have some!
In two separate studies (both published in recent issues of the Journal of
Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism), researchers found that within 10 minutes
of drinking about 500 ml of water, metabolic rates in both men and women begin
to increase as much as 24 to 30 percent. If you drink this much water every day
upon rising, it can result in burning an extra 17,400 calories a year -- for a
loss of over 2 kgs. Just from drinking water!
To determine the ideal amount of water you should drink on a daily basis, just
take your current weight and drink 1 Lt for every 25 Kgs of your weight, eg; a
50 Kgs person should drink 2 Lts of water everyday. That's the amount of water
you should aim for.
