Water & Your Body
As incredible as it may seem, water is quite possibly the single most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off. Although most of us take it for granted, water maybe the only true "magic potion" for permanent weight loss. Water suppresses the appetite naturally, hydrates your body, and helps the body metabolize stored fat.
The kidneys cannot function properly without enough water. When the kidneys can't function properly, they deposit everything into the liver. The liver's function is to metabolize stored fat into usable energy. If it is doing some of the kidney's work, then it is not working at 100% capacity and more stored fat stays as stored fat.
Water reduces fluid retention in your body. When your body doesn't get enough water, it perceives this as a threat to survival and begins to hold on to every drop of water and every drop of fat. More often then not, when you feel hungry, it is because your body is dehydrated, not food-starved.
RULE:
Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces and at least one glass per hour until early evening.
Example - Your weight 160/2 = 80lbs = 80oz. =
10 - 8oz. glasses of water per day.
Give your body what it needs to shed stored fat...WATER!!
Are you a procrastinator? It�s the latest buzz word in self-development. How many times each day do you think �I should do such and such�.� and then you don�t. You put it off. But you�re certainly not putting off thinking about it. On the contrary, all the time that you�re not yet doing it, you�re thinking about it even more. It�s going round and round in your mind � that you haven�t done it yet and you should be doing it.
This means that you�re clogging up your mind. And there�s only so much room in your mind. So if it�s constantly buzzing with guilt, and thoughts of things which should be done then you can�t be running at full brain capacity. Your efficiency will suffer, your creativity will suffer, your memory will suffer too. It makes sense.
You know that wonderful feeling of relief when you finally get round to doing one of those things that you keep procrastinating? You feel a surge of energy. You�ve got more space for more productive things.
Now of course the issue that many of us procrastinate more than any other is weight loss. It�s a constant nag. I�ll start tomorrow, next Monday, next month, after that party�. Just imagine how much room in your brain that�s taking up? Just imagine what productive things that constant nagging is preventing you from achieving?
Take action today and for every day in the future. Not only will you improve your health and your looks but you�ll make huge leaps in personal achievement.
