Some myths about drinking water

There is countless myths about water for weight loss. Can water be sufficient to lose weight? For this, first have a glimpse into myth and its reality. You will surely find your answer.

1. Water can reduce the calories and burn fat.

It is not true that water alone can burn fat. Water helps in breaking down complex fat molecules, but for proper breakdown.

Fast breaks help your body utilize energy when you are hungry or after a stressful activity. This broken down old complex molecule I fast when your body is fully hydrated. This involves chemical reactions. Water cannot directly go inside your body break the stored fat and burn calories. Although hydration is necessary for your body's health, it does not guarantee that it will burn your calories alone.

2. Drinking water reduces belly fat.

You cannot say that you are doing a specific exercise or diet plan to reduce belly fat or some specific part of your body. When you do a physical activity, your whole body engages itself in it. Do you know? All your body's processes communicate with each other through the secretion of hormones. The glands that produce these hormones are under the control of the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus produces different hormones, such as;

·         Vasopressin,

·         Oxytocin

·         Dopamine

·         growth hormone,

·         somatostatin

·         Corticotrophin-releasing hormone,

·         Growth hormone-releasing hormone,

·         Gonadotropin-releasing hormone.

All these hormones control other hormones in thyroids, kidney, liver, and ovary. All the body parts communicate with each other. A change in one part reflects a change in another. Have you gotten your answer? When you do a physical activity to burn the fat of one part of your body, your whole body engages in it and fat burns from your whole body. You cannot do it with water alone.

3.  Water alone can replace the need for exercise and reduce belly fat.

People have a misconception that if they just drink water and do not face any stress, they can reduce their belly fat. I met many people who wish to reduce their fat and want a smart body but they are not willing to engage them in a physical activity. Water cannot reduce your weight directly but it can assist your body with other factors, including exercise, and a healthy diet.

4. You can eat anything if you drink enough water to reduce body fat.

Always remember one thing! Your body needs a healthy diet, nutrients, and proteins for normal functioning. If you do not eat healthy food and think that water can fulfill the demands of your body, then you are wrong. It is healthy to stay fully hydrated all the time. But it is always wrong and misconception that you can rely only on hydration and ignore the nutrient demands.

If you are not eating healthy food, Then no matter how much water you are drinking. You cannot reduce your fat.

The story does not end here. If you are drinking plenty of water and taking proper exercise, with a healthy food that is filling your nutrient needs. Then you can eat your favorite food once a week or three times a month.
