Trying To Lose Weight�?Want Healthier Looking Skin?

 
 

An increased intake of pure�?healthy water will enhance nutrient absorption�?weight loss�?skin hydration�?detoxification and virtually every aspect of better health.

 

Natural, healthy weight loss can only occur by increasing our intake of pure, healthy water. Water is not only the number one ingredient for a healthy body on the inside�?but it also plays the lead role in maintaining a healthy and youthful appearance on the outside.

The quantity and the quality of the water we consume determines our body‘s ability to metabolize and shed excess fat and properly maintain the body‘s largest organ�?our skin.

Weight loss is primarily the result of our liver converting stored fat into usable energy. This process not only requires sufficient water intake�?but also can be greatly accelerated by consuming an abundance of clean�?healthy water. Water also suppresses the appetite naturally and helps digest our food properly.

When we increase our water intake it naturally speeds up our metabolism and allows our body to better assimilate nutrients from the foods and nutritional supplements we consume�?the result being natural and healthy weight loss.

When we do not consume enough water the upper and lower intestine have a reduced ability to absorb nutrients. The result is that most of the value of our foods and supplements are lost and pass through our body with out absorption.

Sugars and carbohydrates are absorbed and processed faster than other nutrients�?so without an abundant intake of clean water, we can end up getting all the calories without the nutrition. Food cravings are primarily the result of nutrient deficiencies, it's our body's way of telling us we need something. If our food is not properly digested, nutrient absorption is not sufficient, then the body keeps telling us we need something in the form of food cravings."60% of all Americans are over weight�?it‘s our #1 health problem." - The Surgeon General

A good indication of how much water is enough is by noticing how much color is in your urine. Any color at all in the urine usually indicates a water deficiency... resulting in reduced nutrient absorption and a slower metabolic rate.

The quality of the water we drink also greatly impacts our body‘s ability to achieve or maintain a certain weight. One of the main functions of the liver is to act as a filter and eliminate toxins from our body. The liver performs this vital process using water in a joint effort with our kidneys. If the water we consume contains chemicals like chlorine�?lead or agricultural and industrial pollutants�?then much of our liver‘s capacity is spent on filtering contaminants instead of processing fat into energy. Many recent studies have even shown a link between consuming chlorinated water and thyroid dysfunction, leading to weight gain.

All weight loss programs are based on a reduced caloric intake and an increased rate of metabolism�?both of which are "naturally" achieved with an increased intake of clean�?healthy water.

Water is also the key ingredient in keeping our skin moist�?subtle and resilient. The best way to moisturize is from the inside.

Drinking more water will result in softer�?healthier�?younger looking skin. Try it�?drink an extra glass of water in the morning�?one before lunch and one an hour before bedtime... you‘ll be amazed at the results !!!
