Weight Loss
Weight loss can be aided by drinking lots of water since fluid intake can raise satiety levels and speed up metabolism. According to some research, increasing water intake may promote weight loss by slightly boosting the metabolism, which will result in more calories burned daily.
A 2013 research showed that giving 50 overweight young women an extra 16.9 ounces (500 mL) of drinking water three times a day for eight weeks resulted in significant weight and body fat reduction compared to their baseline measurements.
Others contend that consuming water before a meal decreases hunger, which seems applicable among middle-aged and older persons. Drinking water before every meal has been proven in studies on older persons to accelerate weight loss by approximately 2 kg (4.4 lbs) over 12 weeks.
Another study found that middle-aged overweight and obese people who drank water before each meal shed 44 percent more weight than those who did not. But although studies on middle-aged and older individuals have shown that this may be beneficial, studies on younger people have not demonstrated the same significant reduction in calorie consumption.
