Can the impact of good hydration help with diets and weight loss?

I) Fruits and vegetables, the basis of a healthy diet.

                                              

Fruits are foods characterized by their low caloric intake due to their richness in water and their low lipid content and their high content of fibers, vitamins, minerals and various microconstituents. For some of these elements, fruits and vegetables represent important sources in our diet: this is the case of vitamin C, folates and vitamin A provided by provitamin A carotenoids.

Fibers act on satiety, fecal excretion and intestinal motor activity, on metabolic parameters, in particular fasting and postprandial plasma lipids, and on the characteristics of the colonic flora due to the prebiotic effects of certain fibers.

Vitamin C has reducing properties that are the basis of its biological activity. It has antioxidant activity and a role as a cofactor in reactions catalyzed by oxygen. In addition, it is recognized for its ability to inhibit the synthesis of nitrosamines, carcinogenic compounds.

Provitamin A carotenoids (α- and β-carotenes) generate vitamin A, which has an essential role in the physiology of retinal nerve cells.

Vitamin B9 is represented by the group of folates or polyglutamates. Folates participate in the metabolism of amino acids and nucleic acids.

In women at the time of procreation it is associated with a risk of neural tube failure of the fetus.

Vitamin K is an essential cofactor for the carboxylation of certain proteins involved in blood coagulation and in the activation of osteocalcin necessary for bone mineralization.

More recent studies are attempting to clarify the role of this vitamin in bone mineralization processes. Potassium acts, in close relationship with sodium, to maintain the acid-base balance of the body and that of fluids; high intracellular concentrations are necessary for the proper functioning of cells. A high dietary intake of potassium would protect against the development of high blood pressure.

Magnesium, the second intracellular cation, is an element of major importance: most metabolic pathways are magneto-dependent and this element plays a key role in the ionic balance of membranes. Intracellular magnesium would play a key role in the regulatory action of insulin and in the proper functioning of the vascular system.

Polyphenols and non-provitamin carotenoids have antioxidant properties. However, these properties appear to be limited in vivo given the low concentrations found in plasma. These compounds are generally poorly absorbed and for some, such as polyphenols, highly metabolized. New pathways of action are currently being explored.

Other compounds such as glucosinolates and sulfur compounds are of great interest because of their potentially protective properties against tumor development. The contents of all these micronutrients and microconstituents vary according to many parameters such as the variety or physiological stage of the plant, the climate (light, temperature), cultural practices (fertilization, irrigation), post-harvest storage conditions and culinary practices, which makes it difficult to assess actual intakes.

I It is recommended to drink at least 1.5 liters of water per day. But this intake can also be provided by fresh fruits, which all contain more than 80% of their weight in water.

II) Our advice for keeping yourself well hydrated throughout the day.

Good daily hydration has very positive consequences on your health.

By drinking moderately throughout the day or opting for effective grandmother's tips: mixtures containing ginger and lemon or herbal teas. On the other hand, it is advisable to pour a teaspoon of bicarbonate into a glass of warm water and stir the mixture well then drink it. Others, for their part, prefer to opt for isotonic drinks ... But in reality, these tips do not all offer absolute effectiveness.

If dehydration is mild, simply drinking plain water may be sufficient. However, if water and electrolyte loss has occurred, salts (especially sodium and potassium) must also be replaced. A number of commercial drinks are available that have been formulated to help replace salts (electrolytes) lost during vigorous exercise or illness.

Hydratis offers this kind of life-saving drinks. By consuming these drinks, you can prevent dehydration or treat mild dehydration. The process is very simple: just put the effervescent tablets in a large glass of water and drink it. This should be done up to 2 or 3 times a day as needed to optimize hydration. Drinking plenty of fluids and taking a little extra salt during or after exercise or during illnesses will also be effective.

If dehydration worsens and blood pressure drops enough to cause shock or near shock, this is an emergency situation that requires immediate medical attention. In such a severe case, an intravenous solution containing sodium chloride may be given.

The underlying cause of dehydration should always be treated. For example, if diarrhea is the cause, medications that treat or stop diarrhea may also be necessary. Once the cause of dehydration is treated, you will need to be monitored to make sure you are drinking enough fluids to stay hydrated. Your doctor may test your kidney function to make sure your kidneys are working properly when you are taking normal amounts of fluids.

If a child develops symptoms of dehydration , contact a health care professional immediately.

To prevent dehydration, drink enough water or fluid replacement products when conditions are conducive to dehydration (e.g., hot, humid, or cold weather, high altitude, vigorous physical exertion). It is also important to avoid alcoholic or caffeinated beverages, which accelerate dehydration by increasing urine output. It is recommended to consume 2 to 3 liters (about 8 glasses) of fluids each day.

III) How can Hydratis support you in your weight loss process?

Why will being well hydrated be beneficial when losing weight?

Water is a natural appetite suppressant

When the stomach senses that it is full, it sends signals to the brain to stop eating. Water takes up space in the stomach, leading to a feeling of fullness and thus reducing the feeling of hunger.

Drinking a glass of water before eating can also help reduce unnecessary snacking . Participants in a 2014 study drank 500 ml of water about 30 minutes before each meal, in addition to their regular water intake. After eight weeks, they noticed a reduction in weight, body fat, and a decreased appetite.

Accelerate calorie burning

Some research suggests that water can help burn calories . Scientists have noticed that water temporarily increases the body's resting energy expenditure. Cold water may be particularly effective: the body expends even more energy and therefore calories to heat the liquid it is digesting.

Boost waste disposal

When the body is dehydrated, it cannot properly eliminate waste in the form of urine or feces. Water helps the kidneys filter out toxins, while the body retains essential nutrients and electrolytes. When the body is dehydrated, the kidneys retain fluid. Water also helps the body recover from digestive problems, such as diarrhea and indigestion.

Hydratis allows you better hydration, replaces lost minerals and allows your cells to fight against oxidative stress.

Above all, do not wait until you are thirsty to hydrate! Drink Hydratis in situations where you need increased hydration and if you want to lose weight. This allows you to optimize water absorption at these times and the elimination of waste from your body.

Change your lifestyle by reducing your calorie intake, avoiding refined sugars, practicing regular sports activity and hydrating yourself regularly. We advise you to dissolve two Hydratis tablets in a large glass of water two to three times a day in order to maintain continuous hydration favorable to significant weight loss.
