Our bodies are made up of 75% water, when we become dehydrated our blood becomes thicker making blood flow slower.

Dehydration occurs when the amount of water leaving the system is greater than the amount taken it, and it is one of the main causes of weight gain. You lose around 10 cups of water each day through urine, perspiration, breathing, and waste elimination. It is very important to replenish the water sources before your body begins to tap into the excess needed water. Dehydration affects the body’s natural ability to burn fat, encourages excessive calorie consumption and slows the metabolism. This in return leads to excess fat being stored in the body.
