It is often over looked, yet water is the key to fast, hassle free, lasting weight loss. Says Christopher Vasey. Author of the water prescription. Water makes a whole lot of difference. It is so important that it is the key to fast, hassle-free, lasting weight.
The secret is to alternate drinking water of different temperature-hot, lukewarm and cold-throughout the day since each of this water play different roles in the weight regulation. The unique benefit of its intake is that it makes one’s body slimming system up to 50 percent more effective. Recent research in hydration science revealed that the temperature of water, especially when it is consumed, triggers astonishing weight loss here are some tips to further help you achieve your goal.
Hot water triggers a body-wide detox:
When cellular levels of toxin rise, the body concentrate them in the liver, lymph system, intestine and skin in an effort to speed their excretion. The stored toxins end up slowing down metabolism. When hot water floods into the body system, it encourages the movement of toxins from the liver and lymph system into the digestive tract, stimulating their elimination from the body. According to medical reports, hot water also makes the pores open slightly, which allow extra toxins stored in the skin tissue to evaporate into the air.
Lukewarm water suppresses appetite:
Lukewarm water, unlike hot or cold water is easier to gulp down the throat at once. According to medical reports, the reason for this is that lukewarm water doesn’t set off the drastic hot or cold alarm signal in the brain. This action causes the stomach to expand rapidly, stimulating the brains vague nerve to turn off hunger pangs. In addition, it doesn’t stall the digestive process the way other liquids of other temperature do. This results in a quicker stabilization of blood sugar- which shuts down food craving thus enhancing further weight loss.
Cold water gives your body a workout:
Within 10 minutes of gulping a glass of cold water, ones metabolic rate jumps as much as 3 percent and one feels elevated for about 30 minutes. The reason for this, according to a medical practitioner, is that the digestive tract has to work harder to heat cold water before the water can be absorbed and used by cells. This energy involved in this process breaks down food and fat in the body, to release their stored calories.
Try taking these practical steps to slimness:
.Start your day by drinking 8 oz. of hot lemon water. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon, plus a teaspoon of freshly grated lemon zest, into a mug, and then add 8 oz. of boiled water which has been left for some minute’s to cool a little. Then sip slowly. Hot lemon water speeds the elimination of fat-storing toxins.
.Alternate steamy and icy sips through out the day. You could switch between hot and cold water. This acts as a form of internal hydrotherapy that cleanses the body. Doctors have reported that hot water helps the intestine flush toxins all day. While cold water keeps calories burn high. It is therefore advisable that you drink 8 oz. of ice-cold water after an hour of drinking 8 oz. of hot lemon water. This cycle should be repeated twice.
.Drink lukewarm water before meals and snacks. Penn state research suggests that you drink 8 oz. of room-temperature water 15 minutes before a meal; this quickly signals satisfaction. This would further help you to shed some pounds of weight every year. Water is best absorbed when it is at room temperature; its premeal sips flood metabolically active tissue with water raising the ability to convert food into energy.
