The Most Under Rated Aspect of Weight LossKim Beardsmore If I were asked, "what is the most difficult thing many people find to do when they start a weight-loss program", I would have to say right near the top of the list is this - they dont drink enough water! Few people realise at first just how essential water is to the success of their weight-loss program. In fact, the essential place of water in our diet extends to everyone - whether they want to lose weight, gain weight or stay the same weight! We all know we cant live without water, but just why is it so important Well there are many reasons. Read on and discover why water can help your loss weight and why it is your essential life-force. Apart from 60-70% of your body being composed of water, water has an extensive range of functions essential to life.
Why should you drink water when you want to lose weight Water is a natural appetite suppressant . Do NOT underestimate the power of this statement. Lack of water can lead to over eating. You brain does not differentiate between hunger and thirst. So, when you think you are feeling hungry, your body may in fact be signalling to you that you are thirsty! If you are not consuming enough water each day and you feel hunger pains, chances are, your body really is crying out for water. In many instances people will find what they thought were hunger pangs were in fact, satisfied by water. Try it! You have nothing to lose, except some weight. How do you know whether you are drinking enough water each day Well the answer is not difficult. The average person needs around 6-8 large glasses every day. Well then, how should you drink the 6-8 glasses per day The aim is to drink water consistently. If you drink too much all at once or too fast, it will simply pass through you, with little or no benefit to your body. If you are someone who enjoys the taste of water, then perhaps you could fill a 1 litre empty soft drink container with water the drink through it twice during the day. Room temperature or cold water, even warm as some people like - whatever you prefer. Place it on the desk at work in front of you as a constant reminder to sip continuously throughout the day. Other people find they need a water diet to help them keep on track. So for you, here is a program easily followed to ensure you are well hydrated every single day.
A few changes will happen when you start out with your water program. Obviously you may find that you need to spend a penny more often. Why Because you body isnt used to being well hydrated. There is absolutely is no doubt about it. When you start drinking enough water regularly, there are great benefits. You may notice your skin significantly improve and even tired muscles will thank you. Many people find their energy is increased and constipation and headaches are reduced, as well as hunger pains. Now heres the really exciting part…many people notice a reduction in weight and centimetres, as their bodys water store become redundant and so decrease. If your diet has been one that did not provide you with adequate water, your body will have developed a pattern of storing water. Its part of the bodys in-built survival mechanism - to store up the essential nutrients in short supply…just in case they arent available in the future. So if you dont drink enough water, you are conditioning your body to store water. And water is bulk and unwanted centimetres. Its so simple...drink water! 6-8 large glasses a day. c Copyright Kim Beardsmore ***Attention Ezine Publishers/Web Owners*** You have permission to publish this article electronically or in print, free of charge, as long as the bylines are included.

Fish Oil and Possible Disease Prevention Researchers working at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center state that DPA and DHA, primary components of fish oil, provide substantial protection against coronary heart disease. This study involved more tha six thousand middle-aged men who had samples of their blood taken between 1973 and 1976. During the next seven years, 94 of these men had a heart attack or died suddenly due to heart disease. The 94 men were matched with 94 healthy men and the fatty acid profile of their blood samples compared. The researchers discovered that the 94 men with heart disease tended to have a higher serum level of the saturated fatty acid palmitic acid and stated that a high level of this acid increases the risk of CHD by 68 percent. Palmitic acid is the main saturated fatty acid in most diets. This acid is known to cause an increase in both total cholesterol and low-density cholesterol levels; the researchers, however, found that the detrimental effect of a high intake of palmitic acid persisted even after allowing for its cholesterol- increasing effect. The researchers also determined that men with a higher blood level of the Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids, docosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid had an almost 50 percent lower risk of developing heart disease than did men with lower levels. Furthermore, the researchers found that men with CHD tended to have a higher serum level of Omega-6 fatty acids derived from linoleic acid. Fish oil seems to restore the balance.
