I used to wonder why so many health gurus and fitness experts who preached drinking plenty of water every day said what they did about the importance of drinking water for weight loss.
I mean, other than maybe making you feel a little fuller when you drink it with foods, why would water be an important part to losing excess weight, and managing to keep a healthy weight maintained?
Well, apparently the tasteless, odorless and colorless liquid has a lot to offer the human body when it comes to our natural abilities to maintain a healthy weight and be active and energetic. Water, for me, is something that I can’t live without a lot of.

One of water’s main purposes is also to coninuously help the body cleanse itself and rid itself of toxins via the kidneys and other vital organs.
Without water, the kidneys cannot function properly, and therefore cannot properly filter the blood and keep us healthy.
I remember one time I got so dehydrated, that my kidneys literally hurt. That’s how I figured out how vitally important kidneys and water were to helping filter out the imprurities that our bodies are hit with every day.
As far as weight loss goes, water will also keep your metabolism running. It helps stave off hunger pains as well, so water is a VERY useful tool when you are trying to drop weight. I always keep tons of water handy when I’m trying to drop a few sizes,
