Adequate water intake is essential for health, and a large number of people simply don’t drink enough. Hydration ensures that body chemistry works optimally. A lot of people don’t realise that their water intake not only influences energy levels and workout performance but also assists in fat burning. The awareness of feeling thirsty is the last indication that your body is dehydrated, as by the time you feel thirsty, it’s often too late.
Based on research, drinking water helps increases the number of calories expended via heat in your body. This effect originates from the body warming the water from room temperature to body temperature. The research suggested that drinking roughly 2 litres of water per day will help increase energy expenditure by approximately 100 calories.[8]
Once you are fairly lean, keep in mind that the less water you take in the more likely your body will retain it. This water retention is usually between the skin and muscles, giving you the bloated soft look and will probably take away the appearance of any definition including the displaying of your abs. Increasing your intake of water tells the body that there is no need to hold onto it since there is plenty coming in, and, therefore, it sheds excess water. This helps give a drier and harder look to your muscles. The lower your body fat levels are the more dramatic this effect will become. However, don’t fall into the trap of using the excuse of holding too much water when it’s clear you still have plenty of fat to burn.
