Easiest way to help weight loss. GET HYDRATED!!
My nutrition workshop is this week so Im sharing some of my best practices and researching whats new. This one blew me away.
95% of US adults (51–70 years old) are underhydrated. Wow!
Fix it and get to your goals faster.
Stay dehydrated and risk major disease.
The good news this really Is an easy fix. Just drink more water and add electrolytes and/or salt (not just any salt.)
Heres my fave, add these to your water, coffee, shake, any liquid to prevent dehydration. I "boost" at least 4x a day. And the best part is they are tasteless drops so I can even get the kids to stay hydrated.
Heres an abstract of 2 studies:
"over 95% of US adults (51–70 years old) were underhydrated; this condition was cross-sectionally associated with the increased prevalence in obesity, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, diabetes, high waist circumference, hypertension, and low high-density lipoproteins." (1)
"These effects can hinder weight loss efforts by reducing energy for physical activity and potentially slowing metabolism. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism found that mild dehydration can lead to a significant decrease in energy expenditure, which could impact weight loss efforts over time." (2)
Stay hydrated friends
