Drinking Water?

I just read some interesting information about water. My mother used to always tell me that I should drink eight glasses a day and I’ve heard that you should drink half your weight in ounces in water everyday. (example: if you weigh 100 pounds then you should drink 50 ounces of water) I try and drink a lot of water. In the summer months it is easy but I really have to think about in the colder months.

Anyway, back to the interesting information.

Most of the world knows that water helps your kidneys work but did you know drinking water also forces fat to be used as fuel, making it one of the main keys to success in weightloss. And, without adequate water, kidneys are unable to function properly, shifting the liver into overdrive. Since the liver cannot properly metabolize stored fat as energy, the result for the body is more stored fat. Which I think my cousin, Ninook, would only want way up in the northern regions of Canada. So drink your water for the day and turn that stored fat into fuel!
