Water naturally suppresses the appetite and helps the body metabolize stored fat.
Studies have shown that a decrease in water intake will cause fat deposits to increase, while an increase in water intake can actually reduce fat deposits.

Drinking enough water is the best treatment for fluid retention.
When the body gets less water, it sees this as a threat to its survival and begins to hold on to every drop. The best way to avoid water retention is to give your body what it needs – plenty of water. Only then will the water you’re retaining be released.

An overweight person needs more water than a thin person.
Because water is the key to metabolizing fat, people with larger metabolic loads need more water.

Water helps maintain proper muscle tone.
It allows muscles the natural ability to contract and prevents dehydration. It also helps to prevent the sagging skin that usually follows weight loss.

Water helps rid the body of waste.
When the body isn’t getting enough water, it takes what it needs from its own internal sources, like the colon, which results in constipation. But, by simply drinking enough water, you can usually restore your bowel function to normal.

Drinking water should preferably be cold.
Cold water is absorbed into the system more quickly than warm water. And some evidence suggests that drinking cold water can actually help you burn calories.

When your body gets the water it needs, its fluids are perfectly balanced. When this happens, you have reached the ‘breakthrough point’.
This means:

• Your endocrine-gland function will improve.
• You’ll no longer retain water
• You’ll burn more fat as fuel because your liver will be free to metabolize the fat you’ve stored.
• Your natural thirst will return.
• You’ll stop being hungry all the time almost overnight.

Water can reduce hunger pangs.
One glass of water shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters involved in a University of Washington study.

Lack of water is the #1 cause of daytime fatigue.

Even a small drop in the amount of water in our bodies can reduce efficiency.
A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

Dehydration decreases metabolism.
Even mild dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 3%.

Drinking water daily can reduce the risk of cancer.
5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
