The more water in your food - The slimmer you are
H2Oh! Drinking and eating water helps keep you slim!
Everyone knows the benefits of and relationship between hydration and fat loss. But did you know that how much water your food contains also has an effect on your body composition? Japanese researchers looked at the diets of 1,200 women and analyzed what they ate in terms of their meals’ water composition. They found a correlation between women who ate more water-dense foods (e.g., yogurt, fruit, and rice dishes prepared with more water) and lower bodyweight and waist measurement. The only hypothesis the scientists could posit was that “The wetter the food, the more proteins and the less carbohydrates it contains.”
