Wonderful Water Helps with Weight Loss
It is crucial to understand the importance of drinking water, not just to maintain good health in general, but also as a tool to help with weight loss. But how much water does a person need to drink each day to stay properly hydrated and maintain proper body function and good health?
It is actually quite easy to calculate how much water is needed each day. The number of ounces can be established by taking exactly half of your weight in pounds, minus about 20%, which accounts for the water you receive from the foods you eat, such as soups, fruit, veggies and other water containing foods.
So let’s say you weigh 200 pounds. Half of 200 equals 100. Therefore you need 100 ounces of water each day. But about20% of that requirement comes from the food you eat. You can therefore subtract 20% of 100 and get 80. That number 80 is the number of ounces of water you should drink per day. And that is 10 cups of water which should be drunk within 24 hours. If you spread those cups throughout the day, it is not impossible, and you will giving your body the healthiest drink there is, in the proper quantity.
So, just say yes to water!
