WEIGHT LOSS AND ENERGY-DEPLETING FACTORS: DEHYDRATION

A human being's body is composed of nearly 70 percent water. Water, after oxygen, is the body's single most important element. It performs a role in most bodily functions: It regulates the body's temperature, removes waste, transports nutrients, including oxygen, to our cells, cushions our joints, and protects organs and tissues. Being severely dehydrated can dangerously affect kidney function, our circulatory system, and digestion. Properly hydrated, the body functions optimally. When the body is dehydrated, it is out of balance. Once again, when your body is out of balance, it needs to expend more energy to attempt to rebalance.

In addition, your body needs water in order to efficiently metabolize stored fat. When you shortchange your water supply, you're likely to slow down that process, meaning it's more difficult for you to turn stored body fat into energy, or calories. Why take the time and energy to lose weight, only to slow the process down by not properly hydrating your body? It just doesn't make sense. Drink!

Sodium and Water Balance

Why are so many Americans dehydrated? There are two reasons. First, sodium. We eat out more than ever. Restaurant food is loaded with sodium. I have watched chefs in open kitchens use huge salt shakers to salt everything. Did you know that many salads in restaurants are salted before the dressing is placed on top? Listed below are a few popular products that contain a high amount of sodium per serving. Keep in mind, Americans have been advised by experts to consume no more than 2,500 milligrams of sodium each day.

8 ounces of V8 Juice                              800 milligrams

8 ounces of canned chicken noodle soup               910 milligrams

1 tablespoon of soy sauce                         892 milligrams

1/2 cup of canned green beans                    360 milligrams

(1/2 cup of frozen green beans contains 0 milligrams)

One-quarter of a 12-inch frozen                    1,000 milligrams

Pepperoni pizza

1/2 cup of low-fat cottage cheese                    470 milligrams

1 McDonald's Regular Cheeseburger               830 milligrams

Read Labels for Sodium Content

If you take a moment to read labels on some of your favorite products, you may be shocked to see the high levels of sodium. For example, almost all soups are enormously high in sodium with the exception of low-sodium varieties or soups that you make at home.
