Water and Weight loss
"Remember that the thirst control center is located in the hypothalamus right
next to the hunger control center, and there is some overlap between these two
centers because water suppresses appetite naturally and helps the body
metabolize fat. Studies have shown that a decrease in water intake will cause
fat deposits to increase, while an increase in water consumption will actually
reduce fat deposits."
WATER. "Dr. Duarte's Health
Alternatives", Alex Duarte O.D.
The overweight person needs more water than the thin one. Large 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 by giving muscles their natural ability to contract
and by preventing dehydration. It also helps to prevent the sagging skin that
usually follows weight loss. Shrinking cells are board up 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 of waste to get rid of. All that
metabolized fat must be shed. Again, adequate water flushes the toxic fat
by-products out as waste."
Water and Fluid Retention
Drinking water is the best treatment for fluid retention. When the body gets
insuffient water, it perceives this as a threat to survival and begins to hold
onto every drop. Water is stored in spaces outside the cells. This shows up as
swollen feet, hands and legs. Diuretics offer temporary solution at best. They
force out stored water along with some of the essential nutrients. Again, the
body perceives a threat and will replace the water at the first opportunity.
Thus the condition quickly returns. The best way to overcome the problem of
water retention is to give your body what it needs, PLENTY OF WATER. Only then
will stored water be released. This rule does not hold for people suffering from
serious heart or kidney dysfunction."
Water can help relieve constipation. When the body gets too little water, it
siphons what it needs from internal sources. The colon is the primary source.
The result? Constipation. When a person drinks enough water, normal bowel
function returns.
