Did you know a third of the UK population don’t drink any water in the day? We must all drink the recommended eight glasses or more! By drinking more water our body becomes energized and better equipped to digest food and burn calories more efficiently. We then wake up feeling more rested and alert for the day ahead.
Drinking a glass of water before bed allows your body to balance its hormone levels as well as its vitamin and nutrient levels. Joints and muscles also become balanced in this process and so having water before bed allows the body to restore itself naturally. The cool water will allow your body to relax instead of working harder to replenish your necessary nutrients. By doing so, you are provided with a full night of rest.
Tips for Weight Loss
Rather than drinking water at the end of your day to lose weight, sip throughout the day to keep your body hydrated and your belly full. The Ask Dr. Sears website recommends drinking at least eight 8-ounce glasses during the course of a day. If you’re having trouble controlling calorie intake at mealtime, try drinking 2 cups before meals. Also, fill your plate at each meal with plenty of nonstarchy vegetables and fruits such as celery, melon and tomatoes, which are 85 percent to 95 percent water and also provide ample amounts of tummy-filling dietary fiber.
