Water and Fat Burning

Drinking more water can actually help you stay lean, indirectly. Your kidneys depend on enough water to do their job of filtering waste products from the body. In a water shortage, the kidneys need backup, so they turn to the liver for help. One of the liver's many functions is mobilizing stored fat for energy. By taking on extra assignments from the kidneys, the liver can't do its fat-burning job as well and fat loss is compromised as a result. So drink your water!
