Water: when to drink up!


So often when it comes to people talking about losing weight they always mention "Drink More Water!" I've thought about this a lot too. It always helps to have a few ideas that are more specific to aide in this goal of drinking more water. I recently was sent this article from my friend, Cathy, in an e-mail. I'm not sure exactly how factual this information might be but I thought that, perhaps, it couldn't hurt to have a drink at these specified times. I have also followed up with an article from WebMD about water & weight loss. I hope you'll find these articles encouraging to help you "Drink More Water!" After all, I realize drinking water is beneficial.


Her E-mail read:

I knew you need your minimum water to flush the toxins out of your body, but this was news to me.

Drinking water at certain time maximizes it's effectiveness on the body:


2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs

1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion

1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure

1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack
