Many people drink beverages every day. Do you know those beverages you have casually are the reason why you gain more weight? A single can of energy drink contains as much as 160kcal, and it takes power walking for 30 to 40 minutes to burn those calories. But if you want to lose weight without sweating, drink water instead of sugary drinks. You can easily see photos of celebrities holding a bottle of water, and they all look fit. Then, let’s talk about the secrets of water that keeps us fit and healthy.
What Does Water Mean to Us?
About 50% to 60% of the human body is water. Water facilitates metabolism and bodily functions and helps prevent dehydration. As body wastes are produced while losing weight and they are eliminated with water from the body, it is vital to drink enough water while on a diet. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends drinking 1.5L to 2L of water per day (eight to ten 200ml glasses). While our consumption of beverages such as soft drinks, juice, sports drinks, milk, and coffee is on the rise, the amount of water we drink is decreasing, raising concerns over weight gains and various health conditions.
