Water is very much underrated as a dieting aid. But not only does it help the bodys metabolism, it helps to keep everything flowing smoothly in the body.

Water helps to keep the joints lubricated, and this is especially important when doing exercise. Drink plenty water both during, and after, exercising.

And water helps to move the fiber out of your body, and adds bulk to it so that you will feel fuller for longer. This helps to quell the appetite. The average person requires 64 ounces (1.9L) minimum for this.

Another great attribute of water, is that it enables the body, each day, to properly absorb the necessary nutrients it needs into the body's tissues.

If we want to keep up our energy levels throughout the day, water is vitally important. The consumption of water should be evenly spread through the day. A recommended level is 6 ounces (170 ml) every hour (except when exercising).

The best way to drink water is slowly. It's no great advantage to consume a lot at one sitting. And the body reacts differently to different water temperatures.

If you want to lose 10 pounds quickly, remember that the body is better able to absorb water when it is at room temperature. But the ice water is better for calorie burning. So the best method is to drink both ice and tepid water, every other time

This makes sense when you realise that the body burns up energy when heating up the ice water, but also the water at room temperature helps the body by preventing the retention of tissue fluid. Both help you to lose weight.

If you get dehydrated, the body will begin to store water in tissues, for protection. This could add 5 pounds to your weight!

And the consumption of water will keep hunger at bay, especially when you alternate between ice water and tepid, and you use only purified water. Its the easiest type for the body to process.

If you are serious about losing 10 pounds, drinking more water is the way to go. It boosts the body's metabolism. Also, more water means less fat deposits.

This is because because your liver will not have to work so hard metabolizing fat. The liver is the bodys main fat burning organ requires a regular supply of pure water.

And that is why hydrating is very important when you are exercising. When you are involved in all that exertion and your blood is racing, the sludge needs to be flushed out of your body.

After exercise, a good guide is to drink 16 to 24 ounces (470 to 700 ml). This will greatly help in the cleaning process, providing an easy exit for those toxins. The more water that gets to your liver, the better it will operate.

Water is the main weapon used by the body for detoxification, and helps the liver to sort the nutrients from the toxins. It will help to boost your energy levels, and keep your waistline down.

So enjoy all the benefits that drinking water brings, as it helps you to lose weight. Make it a part of your day - all day. And you will lose 10 pounds much faster!
