Hello doctor,

I have been trying to shed some pounds, and I have heard that drinking more water can help with weight loss. Can you explain how staying hydrated affects weight loss? Also, are there any specific recommendations on how much water I should be drinking daily to support my weight loss goals?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Water is an essential source of minerals in the body. Therefore, it is recommended to consume at least 16 to 20 cups of water every day. Water plays a major role in reducing toxin levels in the body and aids in fat metabolism, thus helping to reduce fat deposition in the body. During workouts, it is important to stay hydrated by drinking water before, during, and after the workout sessions. This helps reduce muscle fatigue, spasms, and tiredness, consequently reducing the intake of carbohydrates in the body.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
