Drink water! You can burn up to about 50 calories every day just by drinking enough water. I know that may not sound like much, but picture this: you need to burn about 3500 calories to lose a pound. If you burn 50 calories a day just by drinking more water, you'll burn 350 calories in a week, which is close to the number of calories you'll burn during a 30 minute cardio workout. If you burn 50 calories a day for 10 weeks, you'll lose a pound. If you do that for a whole year, you'll lose about 5 pounds with hardly any extra work on your part. Remember, the small things add up.
Water can also help you feel fuller, it'll help your immune system keep you healthy, it'll help keep your muscles energized to prevent cramps, your skin will look better, and your even your kidneys will thank you. The bottom line: drink more water!
Water is good as it also helps make our muscles look fuller - our muscles are 70% water. additional tip, by drinking cold water, one is able to burn more calories as the body will need to burn calories to warm up the cold water back to your body temperature
ReplyDeleteThat's a good point. Water is just as necessary for people looking to gain lean muscle mass as it is for people looking to lose weight.
