How does water combat what you eat?

Gallen88 · February 2011

Ok so i will admit, lately, my eating habits aint been even CLOSE to up to par. My birthday was saturday so i have tons of junk in my house and yea.. i been indulging. As a matter of fact, i just at 7 oreos before i came to make this post :laugh: .. its just 1 of those weeks

Anyway, i drink tons of water regardless but when i do eat horrible, tons of people tell me make sure you drink tons of water if your going to indulge. Well my question is, how is all this water combating all this crap?

It makes you full so you don't eat as much

It won't do anything about calories, as far as I know, but most indulgent foods also contain huge amounts of sodium. The large amount of water does apparently help your body eliminate that sodium faster and thus help you not retain water. And as mentioned, it will help you eat less.

It also helps to keep your body functioning at it's best. Your cells need water to perform functions (like breaking down food). The water also helps to flush out any sodium in your body that would cause bloating... it's also a crucial ingredient in combating lactic acid build up in your muscles (the sore feeling when you workout too hard). Water is important to consume- not just to help you feel "full".
