Water also helps the body to rid itself of waste. And during weight loss the body has a lot more waste to get rid of. All of the metabolized fat must be shed. Again, adequate water helps flush out the waste.
Water helps relieve constipation. When the body gets too little water, it siphons what it needs from intestinal sources. Since the colon is one primary source, the result is consitpation. But, when the body get enough water, normal bowel function returns.
How much water is enough? On average, a person should drink eight 8-ounce glasses each day. The overweight person needs one additional glass for every 25 pounds of excess weight. Incerase the amount you drink if you exercise briskly or it the weather is hot and dry. Except upon awakening, your unrine should be almost clear. If it isn't, you aren't drinking enough water.
