Drink water before eating slimming
An interesting essay has demonstrated what many have claimed, without evidence, take two glasses of water before meals thins around two and a half kilos. To assess the importance of this research must take into account that this is the weight that is lost, about anti-obesity medication. But the water is free, requires no prescription and no side effects.

A clinical trial led by Dr. Brenda Davy, from the department of Human Nutrition, Nutrition and Exercise at Virginia Tech Blacksburg (Virginia, USA), has reached interesting conclusions practices for all those who fight against obesity. The research was unveiled at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society.
The study was conducted in 48 adults between 55 and 75 who were randomly divided into two groups. Both followed a low calorie diet for three months, but only one of them followed the routine of drinking two glasses of water before each meal. In the end, he took no water lost just under 5 kilos, compared to 7 in which he did. The difference, about 2.5 kilos. The result seems conclusive.
Dr. Davy said that they had drunk before a meal consumed 75 to 90 calories less at each meal. That amount, multiplied by three times a day, is about 250 calories. The expert adventure two possible reasons to justify this decline: firstly, to fill their stomachs have less appetite and eat less, and secondly, water replaced to a large extent, to other caloric beverages like soft drinks.
Although the authors of the study say that no one knows exactly how much water is recommended to drink per day appears to be around 9 cups for women and 13 for men, although the general rule is such simple and drink when thirsty. They should take this into account, since excess water can cause intoxication.
