Still searching for that miracle drink to make you look and feel younger?
Try turning on your faucet.
That’s right it’s none other than good ole H2O that’ll zap you with that youthful feeling and healthy glow. This lovely liquid will help you loose that belly bulge and keep you full so you don’t overeat You just have to drink enough of it.!
Experts recommend that the average person gulp down eight, 8-ounce glasses of water a day. But that may still not be enough. You should drink an additional 8-ounces for every 25 lbs of excess fat you’re carrying. Whew! That seems like a lot, especially if you can’t stand to drink the stuff already. But read on and I guarantee you’ll soon be running to your kitchen for a glass or ten.
Be Kind To Your Liver!
This is the one organ you want to keep running like a Mustang when it comes to loosing weight. Why? The liver takes stored fat and converts it to energy. The liver also fills in for the kidneys. Here’s where water is very important. The kidney’s need water like your car needs gas. So if you don’t fuel your kidneys then the liver has to now work double time to do not only it’s own job but also the kidneys’ work. That means the liver won’t be able to burn as much fat as it could if it only had to worry about it’s own job. So be kind to your liver and drink up!
You’ve Got to Break Free!
Drinking more water mean visiting the potty a lot more. Don’t worry! What’s actually happening is that your body is flushing out all the water it’s been storing while you weren’t drinking enough. That means your body is releasing all that stored water in your hips, ankles, thighs and stomach. Keep that water coming and your body will eventually realize that it doesn’t need to store water anymore because plenty more is on the way. That means you’ll run to the bathroom less often. It’s called the “Breakthrough Point”
Drop the Botox and pick up that Bottle of Water!
Water’s just the thing to plump up that wrinkly, saggy skin that comes with either old age or weight loss. It also purges out those impurities in your skin so that you’re pimple free and radiant! As for your muscles? Muscles need water to contract better. That means a more effective workout. So remember, the more water you drink the more buff you’ll look.
Would You Like That On The Rocks?
How you want to drink your water is up to you but experts say that your stomach absorbs cold water faster and that the cooler temperature might even enhance fat burning. But some folks can drink more water if its warm. It doesn’t matter how you drink your water just drink it!
Thirsty yet? Bottoms up.
