If You Want To Lose Weight,...Drink Water!

Weekly Tip From Plan 40® Sales Team: Drink Water!

"Dear IPCs,

The most abundant resource on our planet is water. Some astrologists have even nick-named Earth the "Blue Planet." In our weight-control journey, water can be a great asset to us. Here's why...

* Our kidney's cannot function properly without adequate water. When they are hampered in their efforts, they dump off part of their load to the liver. Now, remember that one of the liver's main jobs is to metabolize fat. If the liver has to pick up the slack from the kidney's, it cannot perform to its maximum capacity. Result? Less fat ismetabolized and more is stored in the body.

* Our body will only tolerate a certain concentration of sodium. If we eat too much salt, our body will retain water to dilute it. Want to getrid of the excess sodium and return the body to its normal balance? Drink water!

* Water helps to maintain muscle tone, which in turn helps to prevent dehydration.

* Drinking adequate water helps to prevent the sagging skin that can follow weight loss.

* Water helps the body to get rid of waste. During weight loss, there is more waste to eliminate. All the metabolized fat must be carried out ofthe system.

* Retaining fluid? The best remedy for retaining fluid is to drink water. That seems a little bit counter-intuitive, but when the body has less fluid than it needs, it retains fluid to combat the perceived threat. This retained water is stored between the cells and leads to the stiff, bloated feeling we all know. The best way to solve this problem is giving the body enough water so that it will release the stored water.

How much water is enough? The best guide is the color of your urine. It should be a very pale yellow. Worried about being up all night using the restroom? As the body gets used to the correct amount of water and eliminates the excess waste that has been building up in the body, the feeling of needing to urinate constantly will subside. Water, inexpensive, available everywhere, good for you! Drink several glasses today!

-Best Wishes,"
