Do you drink enough water?
I personally tell everyone I counsel to drink water throughout the day. Not only does water hydrate our bodies but it is vital in the elimination of waste thru the kidneys, colon and skin.Most of us never think about the fact that our skin is our biggest eliminatory organ so I also suggest drinking more water in cases where there is a skin problem. But how does it help you lose weight? Please read the article below for insight into this question. Courtesy of Aquasana. By the way, they have The #1 rated home water filter in America...

What are some of the benefits of drinking more water?
An increased intake of pure‚ healthy water will enhance nutrient absorption‚ weight loss‚ skin hydration‚ detoxification and virtually every aspect of better health.How does water intake affect weight loss?
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.
What causes our body to lose weight?
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.What happens when we drink more water?
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.What happens when our body doesn't have enough water?
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.What causes food cravings?
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.

How do you know if you are drinking enough water?
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.Does it matter what kind of water we drink?
Many people ask if regular, unfiltered tap water is ok to drink. Is the key just to drink a lot of water or where does quality figure in? No one would drink filthy water but how clean is tap water? The quality of the water we drink also greatly impacts our body‘s ability to achieve or maintain a certain weight. Here's why: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.
