Week 1 Part 2\2
WATER
Why is Water important in our diet?
A big percentange of our body is made out of water! We can survive weeks without foods but only a few days without water!
Water helps us digest and absorb food, regulates body temperature, removes toxins and waste, circulates blood, protects tissues, organs, and joints, and carries nutrients and oxygen to our cells. Dehydration, or the lack of water, worsens many common ailments, including headaches, fatigue, allergies, and joint/muscle pain. A body that is well hydrated rarely suffers from these conditions. People who are chronically dehydrated often suffer from numerous diseases, due to the fact that without water, toxins cannot readily be eliminated from our body.
Why drinking water when trying to lose weight helps?
Water has no calories, but it still gives you the feeling of being full. So instead of grabing that biscuit, you can just grab your water bottle, and have the great feeling of fullness whiout harming your diet!
It also helps the body to metabolize stored fat. Drinking more water, not less, will help with bloating by stimulating your kidneys. When not enough water is consumed, a body often has poor muscle tone as well as muscle soreness which works against weight loss.
How much water should I drink?
Generally speaking, if you are not in the habit of drinking enough water, you should start out by drinking an once of water for every pound of body weight you carry. A 150 pound woman needs 150 ounces or 15 ten ounce glasses of water a day. Sounds like a lot? The purpose is to re-hydrate your body. After that has occurred, you can safely cut down to a half ounce of water per body weight. If you are very active or live in a hot climate, you should drink more. Just remember to not drink more than four glasses of water in any given hour.
Green Tea
I think I've made a post about green tea before but heeey, it doesnt hurt to go over it right? And it is also beneficial!! <3
So let's go over the most important benefits of green tea:
1) Lowers your risk of cancer
2) Eases the pain of rheumatoid arthritis
3) Stabilizes your cholesterol levels
4) Prevents cadiovascular disease
5) Boosts immune system
6) Reduces tooth decay
7) Effective in treatment of mutiple sclerosis
8) Slows the onset of alzheimer's and parkinsons' disease
9) Fights cause of allergies in your body
10) Helps to fend off infections
11) Reduces and prevents acne
12) Slows aging process
13) Promotes weight lose.
Both green tea and green tea extract have been shown to fight obesity and lower LDL cholesterol - both of which ultimately lead to a reduced risk of heart disease and diabetes. The polyphenols in green tea are extremely useful for dissolving triglycerides, a substance in the liver and small intestine made up of mostly sugar and fat, and this is thought to be the reason green tea benefits fat loss. EGCG is also known to stimulate your metabolism and accelerate weight loss. When combined with the caffeine in green tea, this causes your central nervous system to release fat into the bloodstream to be used as fuel which burns your body fat off.
