SEPTEMBER 2010
Water Tip of the Month: Drink Water at the Correct Time
Drinking water at the correct time maximizes its effectiveness on the human body:
*2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs
*1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion
*1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure
*1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack

The National Institute of Health recommends drinking a glass of water before eating as a "healthy eating habit". Their website also suggests increasing water intake to reduce constipation, avoid urinary tract infections, and avoid kidney stones.

Scientists at the 240th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society were told that people who drank two 250ml glasses of water before each main meal ate between 75 and 90 fewer calories during that meal. It's a fairly simple science, according to study author Brenda Davy.

The "water diet" is most likely effective because it fills the stomach up with a zero-calorie substance. "We found that over the course of 12 weeks, dieters who drank water before meals, three times per day, lost about five pounds more than dieters who did not increase their water intake," she said. "People should drink more water and less sugary, high-calorie drinks."
