Want to lose weight easily? The simplest solution and first step to weight loss should be to properly hydrate your body. How much water do you drink daily? Our body is made up of about 60% – 75% water. As the water is used by the body, it is flushed out through the kidneys or the skin or other avenues. So doesn’t it make sense that we need to consume that much per day to keep the body fueled? In fact we will die within 3-4 days without it. But we typically just think of it just as a thirst quencher. It is really much, much more. Water helps remove the toxins from our body whether from our food, the air we breathe, the medicines we take. Lack of water means toxin buildup, which means disease set in. It also means the bod anything goes diet y needs to go to “Plan B” for toxin management. It will wrap the toxin in fat and store it in your body in an effort to protect you. Fat doesn’t always come from eating high calories! You need water to help make enzymes used to digest your food. It’s best to drink 8 ounces of water about 30 minutes before a meal to begin the enzyme production. With a dehydrated body, you don’t produce the necessary enzymes, digestion is impaired and stomach problems and constipation develop. This increases the impacted waste in your intestines which adds to your weight. Messages are sent by the brain throughout the body via an electrical current. Water is the carrier of that current. Without water, the messages the brain sends don’t get received.
