Water - The Clear Advantage


We are constantly hearing of water's undisputed health benefits. It is one of the most vital of all nutrients, yet, for many; it is perceived as having little or no value at all.

Did you know that :
you can survive long periods of time without food, but several days without water can be fatal? Almost 70% of your body ( 40 to 50 quarts ) is water ?

8 TO 12 Cups of water are lost daily through perspiration, urine, breath and the intestinal tract and must be replaced ?

Replacing Losses - How much ?

You may find that you are not thirsty at any given time, but you still may need fluids. By the time you actually feel thirsty, your body may already be dehydrated. Learn to gauge your water consumption by the frequency of trips to the restroom; frequent trips are a sign you are probable drinking enough.

An adequate water suply can be regarded as the amount necessary to balance water loss. This can vary markedly. The National Research Council recommends approximately 1.5 ml of water per calorie of energy expanded. Thus the average female may require between eight and ten cups daily while the average male requires ten to twelve. A good rule of thumb is to drink eight cups of plain water daily with an additional tow to four cups consumed in foods and other beverages such as milk, tea, soups etc. Keep in mind, the more active you are and the hotter or more humid the weather, the more water your body requires.

How much is Too Much ?
Contrary to popular belief, drinking more water then what is recommended does not cause bloating or edema ( water retention ) with a normal functioning heart or kidneys. If a healthy person exceeds his body's water needs, the excess is quickly eliminated. You are unlikely to "drown yourself" by drinking too much water. However, drinking too little water can inhibit your body's ability to accomplish many physiological tasks.

Eight Reasons for Eight Glasses ! - 64 - 80 ounces per day !!

  • Water protects and cushions tissues and lubricates joints.
  • It can both filling and satisfying ( Appetite Suppressant. )

So you see water truly is the clear advantage to a healthier, happier "You!"


Health Report : Water


8 Glasses A Day
Keeps the Fat Away
Water is probably the single, most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off. Although most of us take it for granted, water is ESSENTIAL for Health Maintenance & Weight Loss.

Reference Points :
  • You can survive for weeks without food, but only days without water.
  • 60% - 70% of your body is water.
  • Obesity decreases the percentage of body water to as LOW as 45%.
  • 8 - 12 Cups of water are lost daily and MUST be replaced.
  • Thirst is often misinterpreted as hunger.
  • By the time you feel thirsty, your body may already be dehydrated.
Water suppresses the appetite naturally & drinking enough water is the best treatment for fluid retention.

  1. Drinking more water then recommended does NOT cause bloating or water retentiob with a normally functioning heart and kidneys. Excess water is quickly eliminated, and allows the body's machinery to function properly.
  2. Learn to gauge your water consumption by the frequency of trips to the restroom; frequent trips are a sign you are probably drinking enough, If you have a constant problem with water retention, excess salt may be to blame.
  3. Processed foods have a tremendous amount of salt in them. The clear exception of course, is Herbalife's Formula 1 Protein Drink Mix!! At just 135 mg per serving, it's very low in sodium. A single 1/2 cup serving of tomato soup contains 760 mg !!
There's an old medical adage: Water follows salt. The more salt you eat, the more water your system needs to get rid of it. If you don't enough water you will feel and be bloated. But getting rid of unneeded salt is easy -- just drink more water !

In order to maintain muscle mass while dieting, your muscles need to maintain a certain level of glycogen, which can be thought of as stored muscle energy. Water is requied to form muscle glycogen, so a dehydrated dieter will find it more difficult to form glycogen ( and maintain muscle mass ) than the dieter who drinks his or her fill of water each day.

  • In fact, every chemical reaction in the body, including the breakdown of bodyfat, required water.
Water also helps rid the body of waste. During Wight Loss, the body has a lot more waste to get rid of -- all that metabolized fat had toxins stored in it that must be eliminated. Without adequate water, waste products just stay in the system.

How much water is enough ?

On the average, a person should drink 8 ounce glasses every day That's about 2 quarts. However, the overweight person needs one additional glass for every 25 pounds of excess weight. The amount you drink also should be increased if you exercise briskly of if the weather is hot & dry. Drink your water cold. Some evidence suggests that drinking cold water can actually help burn calories !
When the body gets the water it needs to function optimally, it's fluids are perfectly balanced.


Tips :
  1. Water aids in relieving constipation.
  2. Sip water through a straw to avoid swallowing extra air which can make you feel bloated ( it works! ) .
  3. carry a large glass of cool water around with you - sipping water will help curb your appetite.
