Nutritionist Yekaterina Yashchenko spoke about the benefits of drinking water while actively losing weight.
Everyone knows about the benefits of water. Without observing the drinking regime and balance, one cannot speak of good health and active longevity. But it turns out that with the help of water you can still lose weight!
“Water increases calorie expenditure. It is enough to drink 500 ml of ordinary pure water (about two glasses), and after 10 minutes the metabolic rate increases by 30%, and the effect will last at least an hour, ”the expert says.
If you just drink during the day, at least two liters of water is equivalent to spending about 100 kilocalories. Without physical activity. Simply by drinking water.
100 kcal consumption can be obtained in 30 minutes of calm swimming in the pool or, for example, in 40 minutes of walking. Not a bad result, right?
When losing weight, the expert recommends giving preference to cold water, so the calorie consumption will be a little more. The explanation is quite simple and understandable: the body will spend additional energy on “heating” the water and thus expend extra calories.

Another plus of drinking water – if you satisfy the feeling of thirst with water, then you do not satisfy it with other, more high-calorie drinks (sweet soda, juice, and so on). That is, the total number of calories consumed per day in total will be lower. When losing weight, this is important.
