Are you on a diet and watching what you're eating or drinking? Instead of reaching for the sugar-free cola or the diet soda, you may want to drink H20.
According to a new study from Children's Hospital and Research Center Oakland in California, those who sipped a few extra glasses of water (at least 33 ounces a day) lost even more weight. "Staying hydrated may increase metabolism, so you burn more fat," says lead study author Jodi Stookey, Ph.D.
Ordinary water is actually extraordinary because it's a more effective hydrator than any other beverage.
So your new diet should definitely limit your intake of any sugary drinks --example: juice, soda or iced tea -- to once a day, and have at least 6 cups of water (Tap, sparkling, bottled, or mineral has all produced the same result in the study).
If you want some twist in your H20, consider adding fresh mint or a slice of lemon or lime. And from my own experience, drinking more water also makes you feel more fulfilled sooner!
So go ahead and drink your glass of water.
