DOES DRINKING WATER AFFECT WEIGHT LOSS
Is it true that drinking more water aids weight loss?
YES is the straightforward answer to this question.
Increase your metabolic rate by drinking more water on a daily basis.
It will help in cleansing your body.
Your digestion will improve if you drink enough water. As a result of enhanced digestion, all the physiological systems in your body will work efficiently and all your organs will perform in harmony.
As we all know, one of the functions of the liver is to secrete bile which emulsifies the fats that we eat on a regular basis. According to studies, drinking enough water keeps your liver healthy and thus will increase your fat metabolism.
Depending on the climatic conditions, one should drink at least 2 to 3 litres of water per day.
It has been discovered that drinking cold water boosts your metabolism since some energy is expended to raise the temperature of cold water up to the body temperature.
Ayurveda, on the other hand, disagrees, claiming that drinking water that is not at normal room temperature is hazardous to the body.
“Ajirne bheshajam vari, jirne vari balapradam
Bhojane chamritam vari, bhojanante vishapradam”
This is a shloka (verse) in Ayurveda that means if you are suffering from indigestion then the only treatment is drinking water.
Drinking water after the digestion of your food gives you Bala (strength).
If you drink water while having your meals it acts as Amrit (increases your lifespan).
If you drink water after having your meals it will act as a poison by decreasing the Agni (digestive fire) of your stomach and you will have issues with your digestion.
It is believed that drinking a lot of water will decrease your jathragni, but mostly it is related to the pattern and the schedule of drinking it. anything beyond the limit is harmful in one way or another.
It is recommended to consume water instead of cold beverages, smoothies, wine, or anything else that will boost your calorie consumption.
Your body will also be detoxified as a result of drinking enough water, by expelling a greater amount of nitrogenous and other toxic wastes.
Drinking a glass of water before meals can help you lose weight since it gives you the feeling of fullness before you even consume your food.
Detoxification of your body can be aided by adding a few drops of lemon juice to a glass of water. A pinch of cumin powder can be used for good digestion.
