Why Hydration Matters for Weight Loss
Water is essential for nearly every function in the body, from metabolism to digestion. Here’s how proper hydration supports weight loss:

• Boosts Metabolism:
  Drinking water can temporarily boost your metabolic rate. Studies show that consuming 500ml of water can increase metabolism by up to 30% for about an hour.
  Reference: Boschmann, M., & Steiniger, J. (2003). “Water-induced thermogenesis.” *Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.*
• Reduces Appetite:
  Thirst is often mistaken for hunger. Drinking water before meals can help reduce calorie intake by promoting feelings of fullness.
• Supports Fat Breakdown:
  Water is essential for lipolysis, the process of breaking down fat for energy. Dehydration can slow this process, hindering weight loss.
• Enhances Exercise Performance:
  Staying hydrated improves energy levels and endurance during workouts, helping you burn more calories.

How Much Water Do You Need?
The general recommendation is to drink 8-10 glasses of water daily, but individual needs vary based on factors like body weight, activity level, and climate. A good rule of thumb is to aim for at least 35ml of water per kg of body weight.

Tips for Staying Hydrated

• Start Your Day with Water: Drink a glass of water first thing in the morning to kickstart your metabolism.
• Carry a Water Bottle: Keep water accessible throughout the day to encourage regular sips.
• Eat Hydrating Foods: Incorporate water-rich fruits and vegetables like cucumbers, watermelon, and oranges into your meals.
• Set Reminders: Use phone alarms or apps to remind you to drink water regularly.
• Add Flavour: If plain water feels boring, add slices of lemon, lime, or cucumber for a refreshing twist.

Hydration Myths to Ignore

• Myth: You can’t overhydrate.
  Truth: Excessive water intake can lead to hyponatremia, where sodium levels drop dangerously low. Balance is key.
