First of all, water can't lose weight, but it is helpful to lose weight. Because water can help our body maintain normal metabolism to a certain extent, every cell in the human body needs water to moisten it. Why do we emphasize drinking water instead of tea, wine and drinks? It is because white water has no energy and contains some minerals (except pure water). Therefore, water is a safe and useless drink.
Let's talk about adding things. Nothing in the world can lose weight by eating or drinking (except diet drugs), so it is impossible to reduce fat subjectively whether adding things in water or not. It must be in line with some normal and healthy weight loss methods. For example, a light diet doesn't need to drink some carbonated drinks to relieve boredom, and thirst after exercise must be supplemented with water, which requires water to cooperate.
Therefore, we can't listen to some rumors. To lose weight is to keep your mouth shut, stay away from high-energy fried food, and often eat fruits and vegetables, potatoes, coarse grains and so on. At the same time, choose moderate intensity aerobic exercise, such as jogging, cycling, swimming, walking and so on. This is a healthy, safe and reliable way to lose weight with enough drinking water every day (2000ml/ day for adults), instead of thinking about something for nothing all day.
I've heard that "drinking boiled water can make you gain weight", but drinking more water can also help you lose weight, which is really rare.
The basis of people who put forward that "drinking more water can lose weight" is nothing more than that drinking more water can increase urination, reduce the absorption of calories (this is not reliable), increase sweating in summer and so on. But these excreted water, while weight loss is fat, is insoluble in water, how to excrete it? However, the acceleration of metabolism caused by drinking water is very limited. It is estimated that eating more than half a mouthful of rice or walking two steps less will offset it and have no effect on fat metabolism.
Then, if you want to lose weight by drinking water, you have to add something to the water, such as soaking lemon, soaking tea, adding honey medlar and other Chinese herbal medicines. This is the effect of losing weight, but also because the soaked materials work, not drinking white water! Moreover, adding materials with high sugar content such as honey, while considering the effect of lubricating the intestines, we must also consider the increase in calorie intake, otherwise it will not be worth the candle. As for some traditional Chinese medicines or medicinal and edible materials, such as medlar and chrysanthemum, they also have certain indications and are not suitable for long-term use. Tea, coffee, etc., will also affect the metabolic level, but they all need to cooperate with other means such as exercise to play a better effect. Simply drinking is also very limited.
It is enough for the human body to "make ends meet" by drinking water every day. When it is hot and sweating a lot, you can drink more water. If you have a cold and a fever, you can also drink more water because of your physical needs. When it's cold, you sweat less and drink less. Usually, it is enough to drink about1200ml per day, which can basically meet the metabolic needs of the body. Water will not be retained in the body, and if it is excessive, it will be discharged, either sweating or urinating.
But now there are fewer opportunities to clean up excess water through perspiration, and more water can only be excreted through the kidneys in the form of urine, which will inevitably increase the burden on the kidneys. Moreover, while discharging water, some electrolytes that are easily dissolved in water, such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc., will also be discharged, which will easily lead to electrolyte disorder, but will cause greater health problems.
Therefore, it is not reliable and desirable to lose weight by drinking more water.
