Weight loss is linked to Water intake

Water intake and weight loss are closely interlinked. Intake of water and other fluids has a major effect on energy levels. Good hydration is a key factor to help improve blood circulation and energy levels and maintain good health. Good hydration helps to strengthen our immune system defences and builds better resistance to stress and infections. It also supports optimal brain function, good digestion and anti ageing.

Nutritionist Karishma Chawla explains, “A dehydrated body cannot burn fat nor gain muscle. Water is required for good digestion and to prevent constipation. It also aids gut health and thus reduces the chances of acne. If you want to prevent wrinkles and ageing of skin, drink water. It helps to reduce muscle loss, sagging of skin and wrinkles. It also helps in helping your skin get rid of water retention.” Also Read - 12 reasons drinking water in copper vessel is beneficial

c) It improves energy levels which leads to better exercise performance and higher fat loss.

d) It helps maintain optimal body temperature during exercises to help muscle contraction, and normal body functioning.

3. Drink lime water post lunch and dinner.
