When you realise you're hungry, your first impulse may be to find food. But eating may not be the answer. Thirst, which is triggered by mild dehydration, is often mistaken for hunger by the brain. Drinking a glass of water before reaching for something to eat can help to curb unnecessary snacking.
When the stomach senses that it is full, it sends signals to the brain to stop eating. Water can help to take up space in the stomach, leading to a feeling of fullness and reducing hunger.

It is easy to accumulate liquid calories by drinking soda, juice, or sweetened coffee or tea.
Most people also ignore how many calories they consume in sports drinks or alcoholic beverages.
Replacing even a few high-calorie drinks each day for water or other no-calorie beverages, such as herbal tea, may have long-term weight loss benefits.

When the body is dehydrated, it cannot correctly remove waste as urine or faeces.
Dehydration can also result in hard or lumpy stools and constipation. Water keeps waste moving by softening or loosening hardened stools.
When waste builds up in the body, people may feel bloated, swollen, and tired. Bloating can add inches to a personโs waist.

The amount of water needed varies greatly depending on age, gender, health, physical activity, tendency to sweat etc.
Donโt forget you also get some water naturally in your diet by eating water rich foods like fruit.
Therefore itโs best to go by the colour of your urine:
โ If it's dark yellowโฆ you aren't drinking enough
โ Aim for light yellow
