Nature’s Miracle Weight Loss Mineral – Water!

We all know we don’t drink enough water – especially here in the desert. But did you know that lack of water could be keeping extra weight on you? Your liver is responsible for the metabolism of fat in your body. If your body is water deprived, your liver takes on some of the duties of your kidneys – distracting it from metabolizing fat in your body, and storing it instead.



Water Consumption Tips:

It is recommended that you drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day (about 2 quarts). Add an additional 8-ounces a day for every 25 pounds that you’re overweight.
Try to pick 3 or 4 times a day to have a big glass of water, then sip in between. It’s not good for you to drink too much water at once.
Cold water is absorbed quicker, but warm water is easier to drink.
Flavored waters sometimes add calories, try adding a sugar-free flavor or lemon wedge to water if you get bored with plain water.
