We here at A Health Affair chooses water as our favorite beverage. We tend to despise sugar-sweetened drinks, including soda. The average American drinks about 28 ounces of sugar-sweetened drinks in a day! According to a U.S. News article, water should actually be the choice of many American's.
Water may have an extra special benefit when used in a strategical way. It has been found that drinking two 8-ounce glasses of water before each meal of the day may aid in weight loss. Drinking these two glasses of water can manage your hunger more effectively than anything else.
This can fill up your stomach, therefore allowing your mind to think that your stomach is actually getting full. This will in turn cause you to portion your food and ultimately eat more or less accordingly. Blood pressure is also lowered as a result of reduced sugar intake. The reduced sugar intake also means less calories. One of the best features of water must be that it has ZERO calories! This is as healthy as it gets!
If you think water is a little too boring for your tastes, try it with a wedge of lemon or lime! It adds a splash of flavor, yet still retaining the best benefits of water. Just look at how refreshing this drink looks:
