Water is an essential component of the human body. Depending on age, sex, and health condition, its proportion can range from less than 50 percent in the elderly or obese to as high as 80 percent in newborns. Typically, men have more of it than women, and physically active individuals have more than inactive individuals.

Based on the research that was done, it was possible to figure out that the water:

  • supports the regulation of body temperature.
  • guarantees the proper course of metabolic processes.
  • It is a key component of muscles and internal organs.
  • It supports the digestion of food.

Despite this knowledge, many individuals struggle daily with dehydration. It is important to remember that even slight dehydration (at the level of 2%) causes a decline in physical performance and a decline in well-being.

The human body can't store water, so it needs a constant supply of water. Drinking water not only helps you avoid dehydration, it may also aid in weight management.

 How does drinking water aid weight loss?

Water contains zero calories.

If we consume more calories than we expend, we will gain weight. The mechanism also functions in reverse.

Most people don't realize how much energy they give their bodies every day through fluids like:

  • sweetened coffee and tea.
  • sweet drinks,
  • fruit juices,
  • alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks.

The greatest benefit of water is that it contains no energy. While it does contain micronutrients, it does not contain any calories. You can significantly reduce your intake of empty calories by substituting bottled beverages with clean spring, table, or even filtered tap water.

Water reduces the appetite.

Water consumption affects the satiety center. Fluid satisfies the stomach, causing it to feel full. When you drink more water, you eat less and consume smaller portions.

By supplementing the meal with water, the food portion appears larger than it actually is. However, this does not affect its energy density. According to the studies, manipulating the water supply may be one of the nutritional strategies that will prove effective in the treatment of a variety of eating disorders.

Drinking water and slimming: what does the research say?

Numerous studies have examined the correlation between water intake and weight loss. It is important to emphasize the most impressive outcomes.

All studies agree that drinking more water helps you lose weight more when you also cut back on calories or do more physical activities.
Interestingly, drinking one glass of water less than the daily requirement is sufficient to slow the metabolism by 2 to 3 percent.
