Many people do not realize the true importance of daily drinking enough water and how this can affect both your health and your weight loss efforts.
According to experts in a recent study, drinking just 2 cups of water, you can lose an extra 2 kg per year and help you control weight.
In addition, drinking the right amount of water a day can actually speed up your metabolism and help curb overeating when your body is confusing hunger and thirst. But how much water is enough?
Here’s how to calculate how much water you should drink per day for health and weight loss.
Your weight:
The first step to understanding how much water to drink every day is to know your weight. The amount of water a person should drink depends on their weight, which makes sense, because the more someone weighs, the more water they need to drink.
Multiply by 2/3:
Then you need to increase your weight by 2/3 (or 67%) to determine how much water to drink daily.
Activity level:
Finally, you will want to adjust this number depending on how often you work, as you take out water when you sweat.
You should add 340 grams of water to the daily amount for every 30 minutes that you work out. Therefore, if you exercise for 45 minutes a day, you will add 500 g of water for daily intake.
Tips for achieving your daily water goals
so, now that you know how much water you should drink every day, let’s talk about how to make sure that you are really getting enough. First you need to drink more than 2 liters of water may seem impossible, but with these simple tips you can quickly achieve your goal.
Drink 2 cups of water before each meal:
Science has proved that drinking 2 glasses of water before each meal, you can eat less and lose weight. If you do this three times a day – before breakfast, lunch and dinner – you already consume 6 glasses of water a day.
Morning and night:
Get used to drinking one glass of water when you wake up, and another glass before going to bed every night. This will add 2 more glasses of water to your daily intake.
The easiest way to do this is to hold a glass or a bottle of water at the bed, so as soon as you wake up and start your day, you can start drinking water.
Fill your water with a scent:
Water should not be boring, so you can fill your water with fruits, herbs and other flavors, which will greatly simplify your daily goal. Try adding cucumber, strawberries, lemons, linden and fresh herbs to create fragrant water.
Bubbles:
In addition to regular water, use soda water. Many people believe that adding carbonated and flavored water makes drinking water throughout the day more exciting.
