Recent research has shown that simply drinking more water can both
help with weight loss and provide a mental boost. The best part? It’s
free of artificial colors and flavors; it isn’t genetically modified,
and it’s readily available for most people living in developed
countries. The value of water lies in far more than its thirst-quenching
abilities.
Water Shown to Aid in Weight Loss
Rebecca Muckelbauer of the Berlin School of Public Health in Germany
led a review of water studies, looking for any link between the
top-hydrator and weight loss. She and her colleagues poured over studies
on water consumption and weight loss and found 11 that fit their
criteria. Of those, 3 demonstrated that increased water intake was tied
to greater weight loss in dieters.
One of those studies, for instance, found that women who drank two
cups of water before a meal lost about 4 pounds more on average than
those women who didn’t. Another found that those who drank more than one
liter of water each day lost more weight than those who drank less.
