Almost 70% of our body weight is water, making water by far the most plentiful nutrient in the human body. A person can survive for two months without food. Without water you will survive at most for one week and less than this if you are perspiring in a hot or humid environment. Water is a requirement for every physiological process in your body.. It is required to transport nutrients, regulate temperature, and build tissues. We will show you how to lose belly fat by keeping well hydrated.

Water is a powerful weight loss tool. Water naturally suppresses the appetite and helps the body metabolize stored fat. A decrease in water intake will cause fat content to increase in your cells. This occurs because your kidneys don’t function as efficiently when you are dehydrated. This places an increased load on your liver. Your liver is normally responsible for metabolizing fat. The increased work load on your liver makes it inefficient at processing fats, therefore instead of being metabolized, the fat gets stored on your body.. You can  signicantly increasing your chances to lose weight by drinking plenty of water.

As we mentioned before, your liver is responsible for metabolizing fats. The liver produces  HDL, LDL, VLDL, and tri-glycerides. They are all necessary for normal functioning of the cells in your body.The liver utilizes these apoproteins to transport fats and essential fatty-acids throughout your body. When the liver is not functioning optimally there is an excess of  LDL, VLDL, and tri-glycerides that not only increase  your  body weight,  but cause buildup of atherosclerotic plaques in your arteries. This phenomenon  is commonly known as ‘high cholesterol’.

It is counterintuitive but drinking plenty of water is the best treatment to get rid of excess fluid in your body. When your body is not well hydrated, it perceives this as a threat to survival and begins to conserve water.. Water is stored in extra cellular spaces (outside the cells). This shows up as swollen feet, legs and hands.

The most effective 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. Any good weight loss program will emphasize the need to stay well hydrated..

The average person requires at least 8 (12 oz. or 360 ml) glasses per day. If you are overwight drink at least 100 oz (3 L) per day and more if you perspire a lot.. Of course if you are perspiring a lot in a hot, humid environment you will require more water than this.
