A lot of people don't see the importance of water when they are trying to lose weight or trying to get into shape.. But water is VITAL in your success to a better body! Just SOME of the reasons are below :-)
-The body will not function properly without enough water and can't metabolize stored fat efficiently.
-Retained water shows up as excess weight.
-To get rid of excess water you must drink more water.
-Drinking water is essential to weight loss.
Below, from musclehack, are 5 reasons why water is ESSENTIAL for muscle growth!
(1) Peak Strength. Sufficient hydration means optimum strength. Strength can decrease by up to 15% with a drop in hydration levels of only 3%!
(2) Energy levels. Dehydration leaves you feeling tired and lethargic. Just imagine how you’ll perform in the gym in this state!
(3) Digestion. Your body needs water to aid the digestive process. You want those muscle-building nutrients shuttled to their destination quickly and efficiently don’t you? This is especially relevant post-workout, which is why I recommend a liquid meal after your weight-training sessions.
(4) Less Likely to get Injured. Water is the main ingredient in the makeup of the synovial fluid, which is the lubricating fluid between your joints. When your body is taking a pounding as it does with the MuscleHack 8-12 | 6-9 program, you need to keep your joints well-lubricated to avoid injury.
(5) Improved Effectiveness of Creatine Monohydrate. Supplementing with creatine means you need to stay hydrated. Creatine draws water into the muscle tissue, super-saturating or volumizing the muscle. This means you should compensate for this fact by consuming a little more water than average Joe to see maximum gains.
So get on it and drink some water! Its refreshing, good, and has awesome health benefits!
