Water is probably the most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off. Water may be the only magic potion for permanent weight management.
Water is a natural appetite suppressant and it helps the body metabolize stored fat. Research has shown that a decrease in water intake causes an increase in fat deposits and an increase in water intake reduces fat deposits. This occurs because the kidneys are unable to function properly without enough water. When they don't work to capacity, some of their load is dumped unto the liver. One of the liver's primary functions is to metabolize stored fat into usable energy for the body. But if the liver has to do some of the kidneys' work, it can't operate at full capacity. As a result, it metabolizers less fat so more fat remains stored in the body and weight loss stops.
The best treatment for fluid retention is drinking enough water. When the body gets less water it perceives this as a threat to survival and begins to hold on to every drop. This water is stored in extracellular spaces, that is, outside the cells. The result is swoklen feet, legs, and hands.
