Everyone knows that to lose weight you need to drink a lot of water, but few people know exactly how much and why. And all because water is the first supplier of energy and strength for the body.
From the course of anatomy, we know that the human body is approximately 85% water, it is involved in all chemical processes in the body.
But how does metabolism and metabolic rate depend on the amount of fluid consumed? If there is not enough fluid in the body, then the kidneys cannot independently remove all toxins and decay products, and then the liver comes to their aid, leaving for a while its functions, one of which is the splitting of fats.
With an acute shortage of fluid, the brain, heart, liver and lungs take up the remaining water for their smooth operation, leaving the skin, joints and intestines without life-giving moisture. Often a person feels hungry and goes to the refrigerator for another portion of food. However, more often than not, this is just a disguised thirst and a glass of water can quench the urge to eat. If there is an acute desire to drink, then the body is guaranteed to be dehydrated and the brain begins to take fluid from tissues, cells, and then from blood plasma.
Calculating the daily rate of fluid is not difficult at all, for this there is a universal formula:
For men: 35 x body weight For women: 31 x body weight
For example, take a girl weighing 58 kg, multiply 31x58 = 1798 ml - this is the daily requirement.
Do not forget that during active physical activity, hard work and in hot weather, the volume of fluid you drink should be increased by 0.5 liters.
How to force yourself to drink water if you don't feel like it at all?
You need to start in the morning, for this you need to put a glass of water next to the bed and drink it immediately after getting up. On the road, to work or study, you can take a liter container of clean water and drink it during the day in small portions, then almost all the required volume will be drunk in between.
