When we are eating meals, the food already contains water which means as we eat food we are also taking in the water. In order for the stomach to digest the food, we need water and the water supply comes from the food we eat or from the water we drink. When people drink water while eating, they usually tend to swallow it without chewing enough and sometimes lead to bad digestion.

If you drink water when your throat is dried up or dried lips, you already have missed the adequate time to provide the water to the body. When you are suffering from thirst, it’s giving you a warning that your body has already lost the sodium balance in the body from loss of water and disturbs the blood circulation. It is important that you drink at least 8 cups of water a day and not wait until you are thirsty.

So is it bad to drink water during exercises? It’s better to drink water when exercising because if you don’t get enough water to the body, your muscles will start getting clamps.

All my friends were really skinny except for me. I always felt left out when we all went shopping because I couldn’t try any of the pretty dresses and show off or take pictures. All the attention went to them because they were pretty and skinny. In the holidays I finally decided to do something about my obesity. I started going to the gym and got a personal trainer. I cut down on my carbohydrates and ate more proteins such as chicken breasts, boil eggs – only the whites, tofu, beans. Sweet potatoes was my only carbohydrates. I did an hour of aerobic, yoga in the mornings. Went home and ate one piece of chicken breast and sweet potatoes and chillis. Had 2hours rest and went back to the gym and did an hour and half of weight training with my trainer. I ran for an hour after and went for a swim.

By the time I go home it was at night and I had 3 boiled eggs with sweet potatoes and went to sleep. I did this for a week and lost 4 pounds. I was so happy because my face was a lost more skinnier. I was excited to go to the gym everyday and that’s how I lost 20 pounds in a month. good luck everyone on losing weight. It is possible for anyone!
