• The importance of water when you try to loose weight or detox

  Why is Water so important?

  Incredible as it may seem, water is possibly the most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off! Although most of us take it for granted, water may be the only true “magic potion” for permanent weight loss.

  Water suppresses the appetite naturally and helps the body metabolize stored fat. Studies have shown that a decrease in water intake will couse fat deposits to increase, while an increase in water intake can actually reduce fat deposits. Here’s the reason: the kidneys can’t function properly without enough water. When they dont work to capacity, some of their load is dumped onto the liver. One of the primary functions of the liver is to metabolize stored fat into usable energy for the body. But, if the liver has to do some of the work of the kidneys, it can’t operate at full tilt. As a result, the liver metabolizes less fat, more fat remains in the body and weight loss stops.

  Drinking enough water is also the best treatment for fluid retention. When the body gets less water, it preceives this as a threat to survival end begins to hold on to every drop! Water is stored into extra cellular spaces. (Outside the cells) This evidences as swollen feet, legs and hands. Diuretics are a temporary solution at best. They force out stored water, along with some essential nutrients. Again, the body perceives this as a threat and will replace the lost water at the first opportunity. Thus, the water retention quickly returns. The best way to overcome the problem of water retention is to give the body what it needs; plenty of water! Only then will the stored water be released and the swelling subside.

  The overweight person needs more water than the thin person. Since we know that water is the key to faster fat metabolism, it follows that the overweight person should drink much more water. Water also helps to prevent the sagging skin that usually follows wight loss. Shrinking cells are supported by fluid, which plumps up the skin, leaving it clear, healthy and resilient.

  Water helps rid the body of waste, detox. During weight loss, the body has much more waste to get rid of – all the waste products from the metabolized fat must be excreted. Again, adequate water intake helps to flush away these waste products.

  Water can help relieve constipation. When the body gets too little water, it absorbs what it needs from internal sources. One of these primary sources is the colon. A great deal of water can be re-absorbed from the faeaces, leaving them dry and hard. The result?  Constipation! Drinking enough water will couse normal bowel function to return.

  How much water is sufficient? On average, a patient should drink 2 liters of water per day. (About 8 glasses) An overweight person should drink an additional glass for every 10kg of excess weight. Water intake should also be increased when one exercises vigorously or when the weather is hot or dry.

  Water should preferably be cold – it is absorbed into the system more rapidly than warm water and is more pleasant to drink. Certain evidence suggests that drinking cold water can actually help to burn calories.

  When the body gets the water it needs to function optimally, it regains a state of fluid balance. When this happens, one has reached ’breakthrough point’. What does this mean?

  *Endocrine gland functioning improves

  *Fluid retention is alleviated as stored water excreted

  *More fat is used as fuel because the liver is free to metabolize stored fat

  *Natural thirst returns

  *There is a loss of hunger almost overnight

  If the patient stops drinking enough water, the fluid balance is upset and the result may be fluid retention, unexplained weight gain and a loss of thirst. To remedy this unhealthy situation, they will have to go back to drinking sufficient water to reach another ‘breakthrough point’.

  How to detox your body

  Using a weight loss detox as a body cleanse can help you flush fat, excess weight and the environmental toxins that may be causing you to have a hard time losing the weight. Many people have enjoyed health benefits from cleansing including; fat loss, weight loss, glowing skin and more energy.

  Scientific studies are proving that our bodies do store toxins and chemicals in fatty tissue. These may be from pesticides or environmental and industrial pollution. As science finds more evidence that these toxins can account for unexplained weight gain, many more people are considering a weight loss or detox programme as a new solution.

  When making a change in diet or lifestyle, through stopping a bad habit or eating habit, exersising, lymph draingage through treatments like Endermologie and Ozone Therapy or simply adding 6 to 8 glasses of water to your daily ruitine your cells begin to eliminate the toxic substance. Before finding the exit, however, the toxins are released into the bloodstream and are carried through the circulatory system. This transportation and elimination may result in headache, diarrhea, or constipation, and often toxins are eliminated through the skin, resulting in rashes or skin problems (especially if you are prone to such problems) where treatments like Ozone Therapy will be beneficial. You may also feel a lack of energy, especially if you are eliminating meats from your diet. (The protein found in meat is more stimulating than that found in vegetables).

  You can eliminate the toxins much quicker through doing treatments like Endermologie and Ozone Therapy which help to increase you bloodflow and lyphatic system. By improving the flow your body will get rid of the build-up leaving you with benefit like: more energy, better sleep, overall improvement of skin and hair, weigh loss, centremeter loss, improvement on the appearance of cellulite,tone end texture of skin.You may also find that, with the absence of toxins, you absorb the correct substances more easily.
