Workout and weight loss on wheels- water

Water is my drink of choice, I sometimes call myself an "aquaholic" so drinking before meals will not be much of a hardship. I absolutely despise soda; that alone is a huge challenge for many dieters; people drink soda like water. It is nice to know that there are so many benefits to drinking water. Fluid losses occur on a regular basis, from skin evaporation, breathing, urine, and stool, therefore, daily replacement is crucial in order to have good health. The body is composed of about 60% water. Water is necessary for saliva creation, digestion, absorption, circulation, transportation of nutrients, and maintenance of body temperature. The brain tells the kidneys how much water to excrete as urine or hold on to for other processes. Food with high water content tends to look larger, its higher volume requires more chewing, and it is absorbed more slowly by the body, which helps you feel full, this is called "volumetrics." Cells that don't maintain their balance of fluids and electrolytes will shrivel, that can result in muscle fatigue so they won't work as well. It is important to replace sweat with water when exercising. The skin contains plenty of water, dehydration makes your skin look more dry and wrinkled once you are adequately hydrated, the kidneys take over and excrete excess fluids. When the body is not getting enough fluids, urine concentration, color, and odor increases because the kidneys trap extra fluid for bodily functions. If you chronically drink too little the body is at higher risk for kidney stones, high blood pressure and cancer. Adequate hydration keeps things flowing along your gastrointestinal tract and prevents constipation. Water and fiber keeps the bowls functioning correctly.
