Wellness consultants repeatedly emphasize the efficacy of water in losing weight. A recent report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition says that water directly impacts your weight loss goals. Moreover, that is exactly the point where your performance dips. So it is important that you drink enough water every day and especially double the amount before hitting the gym.
A study in the Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism states that drinking enough water ups your metabolic rate by almost 30 per cent. And if you increase your intake further, it is effective in burning excess calories too.
Did you know that water is an appetite killer? Please remember, however, this isn`t a healthy way to go about it. Sometimes when you are thirsty, your body gives you cues that you are hungry. So it`s always better to have a glass of water before giving in to your brutal hunger pangs.
Water is way better than fizzy or sports drinks. A study published in BMC Public Health 2015 stated that for every 3.4 ounces of plain water consumption, a person drinks 0.7 ounce less caloric beverages.
