Drinking Water and Weight Loss

Drinking water and weight loss go together as water is a great filtering agent for your body.

Since water constitutes over two thirds of our body, it is important to realize that water is a natural medicine that benefits our entire body.

It is unfortunate that we take it for granted, and that we are not more vigilant about our natural lakes and rivers.

Because of hearing voices, I heard God say during one of our conversations,

Because of man’s greed, resources are being dwindled, the animal and fish populations are slowly being destroyed.

This is taken from Spiritual health.

Back to our topic – drinking water and weight loss - if you think about it, you will realize that if you want to flush toxins out of your system, you will need to drink more water and that is important to any weight loss program.

Dehydration Can Lead To Disease

This is the reason that dehydration is a factor in illnesses such as arthritis, asthma and ulcers. It can also be fatal. If you ignore your body’s signal for thirst you make drinking water and weight loss more difficult plus it will affect the health of your body. You need to start listening to your body and it’s needs.

We have been told many times that we should drink about 6 to 8 eight ounce glasses of water daily. I believe that we need to listen to our body’s thirst signal and then drink water. If your mouth and lips are already dry, you are dehydrated and need water immediately.

You also need to take your body size into consideration. Eight 8-ounce glasses of water or 2 quarts is not enough for the over-weight person. A larger body has a greater metabolic load which means that he or she will need more water to perform the same functions as a thinner person.

A heavier person will need about one additional glass of water for every 25 pounds of weight. Dr. Donald S. Robertson suggests that for weight loss one should drink

1 quart of water over approximately 30 minutes in the morning, at noon and between five and six o’clock.

The Effects Of Water On Our Body

Water’s side effects are amazing:

• flushes out excess waste
• helps to relieve constipation
read causes of constipation
• keeps up the muscles’ ability to contract, and maintains muscle tone
• alleviates fluid retention
• suppresses your appetite by filling up your stomach
• helps the body metabolize stored fat
• helps to prevent skin from sagging after weight loss by filling out the cells

All weight-loss programs are based on reduced caloric intake and increased metabolic rate, both of which are naturally achieved with an increased intake of clean, healthy water.

Water is also the key ingredient to keep the skin moist, supple 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! Water is the key ingredient for healthier skin and natural weight loss.

  "A Course in Weight Loss" addresses the true causal root of your weight-loss issues: The 21 lessons in this book will take you on a deep, sacred journey. One step at a time, you will learn to shift your relationship with yourself—and your body—from one of fear to one of love. And you will begin to integrate the various parts of yourself—mind, body, and spirit—to become, once again, and in all ways, the beautiful and peaceful person you were created to be.

  As Williamson writes: "When it comes to your enjoyment of eating, your best days are not behind you but ahead of you!"
