If you exercise, eat right, and the weight does not want to go away, then one of the reasons may be a lack of water in the body. After all, as you know, a person consists of 2/3 of water. It is water that is the main medium, as well as a participant in the innumerable reactions that underlie life. All metabolic processes occur only with the participation of water. Lack of water can cause you to be overweight, as well as headaches, insomnia, and poor health.
What happens if the body doesn’t have enough water
With insufficient use of water, it is difficult to remove those decomposition products (slags) that occur in the body during its vital activity. This is fraught with the fact that dehydration occurs, and slags are deposited in the organs that utilize or secrete decomposition products.
Whether water really plays such an important role in human health will be considered in a simple experiment. Imagine that an aquarium of water is your body, and sugar is the food you eat every day. Some useful substances are absorbed, and some remain the same as the undissolved pieces of sugar left at the bottom of our aquarium. The question arises: how to make this liquid in the aquarium again clean, transparent and sugar-free? If we can just pour out the liquid from the aquarium and fill it again with clean water, then we can’t do this to the body. Hence the conclusion: it is necessary to pour clean water into the aquarium until the contaminated water leaves completely.
It is the same with the body – you need to drink clean water. It will help to remove all the decay products, toxins and guaranteed to lose weight.
What kind of water should I drink?
Now you need to figure out what kind of water to drink better? Can I drink tap water? This question can be answered in the case of studying 2 factors.
1 factor – whether specific regional sanitary and hygienic standards are met. These are quite strict requirements for drinking water.
Factor 2-local features. For example, if the water supply system in a particular house is destroyed, cracks in the pipes or the location of the system in often flooded basements…
In this case, even the best water that will come from the centralized water supply becomes unsuitable for consumption.
Therefore, it is not recommended to use tap water. Tap water must be filtered, or you can buy purified water. By the scale in the kettle, by the color of the water, you can determine what kind of pollutant you have at home. If there is scale in the kettle, then the water is hard. So, you need a filter that effectively removes the water hardness. If the water is yellow – it is most likely iron and a filter is needed to remove the iron. Each filter has its own recipe. When filtering, it is necessary to take into account the composition of the water and buy a filter aimed at purifying specific water containing specific impurities.
What is the danger of dehydration?
Few people know that the water content in the body of a child is 90%, in the body of an adult-70-80%. At the end of life, the water content in the human body can drop to 55%. This suggests that over the course of life, we all slowly shrink. The body can not retain water for long. He is forced to constantly receive it with food.
Dehydration is a symptom that can cause many diseases, in particular, such as: pneumonia, diabetes, cancer, poisoning. The amount of fluid entering the body must correspond to the amount of fluid removed from the body. And if more is excreted, dehydration results.
If the body does not receive enough water – this can be a big problem. In order to understand how much the body is dehydrated, you can use a fairly simple topic: take your hand and pinch the skin with your thumb and index finger. If the amount of water is normal, then releasing the pinch, we see that the fold quickly disappears and it is no longer there. If the liquid content is reduced, the pinch is smoothed out slowly. But this method alone cannot be relied on, as it is not always correct.
How to calculate how much water to drink per day?
There are several opinions:
1. It is enough to drink in addition to food 1.5-2 liters of water a day, this will be enough to remove toxins and purify. In the summer heat or when we sweat a lot, this amount can be increased to 2-3 liters.
2. Calculate individually according to the formula: 25-30 ml of water per 1 kg of your weight. And with an active lifestyle or hot weather, 30-40 ml of water per 1 kg of your weight. The increased rate should also be used by those who want to be slim and lose weight. This includes simple water, water that we drink in the form of various drinks, water that comes with food.
This advice is followed by many world stars. Start today and you will! And remember the good truth: if you want to eat, drink. If you want to eat in 20 minutes, eat!
