WATER
LEARN MORE ABOUT WATER
Water... 8 Glasses a day keep the FAT away!
• The single most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off and is key in suppressing appetite naturally and burning stored fat!
• Studies show that a decrease in water intake can cause fat deposits to increase. Whereas the increase in water can actually reduce the fat deposits.
• Your kidneys do not function properly without adequate water intake. Most people whose bodies retain water actually do not drink enough water. The body sees this as a threat to survival and holds onto the water when you do drink water which causes swollen hands feet and legs. Best way to overcome water retention is to give the body what it needs ... plenty of water and then water stored will be released!
• Water also helps to maintain proper muscle tone by giving them natural ability to contract and not be dehydrated. Also will prevent sagging skin from weight loss and develop a clear radiant complexion.
• Water also flushes waste products from the body so it helps eliminate constipation.
Remember that a Minimum of 8 glasses of water daily is what is recommended, and that this could play a very important role in your weight loss.
This is about 2 litres of water a day. You may opt for drinking it from a “sports or sip bottle” all day long!

“SHAPING UP FOR A DRINK”
By Kellie Heywood
Could the shape of our glass have a significant effect on how much we drink?
For a relatively simple act, drinking attracts massive amounts of media coverage.. We're updated on how much water, alcohol, soft drinks, caffeinated beverages and juices we should consume, and the likely effects on our health from getting these quantities wrong.
But while what’s inside the glass is the most important thing, a study headed by Brian Wansink of the Cornell University Food and Brand Lab, suggests that taking a good look at the shape of your glassware may well help you control your consumption.
THE TALL AND THE SHORT OF IT
Researchers looked at how much juice subjects drank (and how much they thought they poured) when given two different types of glasses -a tall thin glass and a short, wide glass.
When given the short, wide glasses, adults tended to consume almost 20 per cent more juice. They were also much less accurate in gauging how much juice they had poured, with 79 per cent underestimating the amount, compared to only 17 per cent of adults who used the tall, thin glasses.
And it seems even training can’t completely stop this tendency to see taller as more and shorter as less. When the researchers examined the pouring practices of professional bartenders they found that though with increased experience, the professionals were better at gauging the amount they poured, they still had a tendency to pour more into a short, wide glass than a long, thin one.
WATCH OUT FOR KIDS POUR PERFORMANCE
Children find it much more difficult than adults to evaluate how much liquid a glass can hold. They tend to focus only the height of a glass and the researchers from Cornell found that this can make a huge difference to how much they actually drink.
In their study, children educated on the importance of nutrition and weight management as part of the camp they were participating in were given either tall, thin or short, wide glasses and allowed to pour themselves juice.
The kids with the short, wide glasses consumed an extra 74 per cent more juice than those who had the tall, thin glasses. This was the case even though, on average, they actually thought they had poured less than the kids who used the tall glasses.
TUMBLER TRICKS
What this research gives us is a few crafty strategies to help control our beverage consumption. If you want to encourage consumption, say you want drink a bit more water every day or coax a reluctant child to drink more milk, why not try pulling out a low, wide tumbler.
On the other hand, imagine you want to limit your alcohol consumption or encourage your kids to go easy on the soft drinks and juice, a tall thin glass may help.
