Water...........Human Fountain on November 21, 2006 10:56 am Water helps nearly every part of the human body function efficiently. Considering that our bodies are almost two-thirds water, it is important to understand water's role in healthy lifestyles. The following are just some of the things water does in the body: Brain is 75% water / Moderate dehydration can cause headaches and dizziness Water is required for breathing Regulates body temperature Carries nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body Blood is 92% water Moistens oxygen for breathing Protects and cushions vital organs Helps to convert food into energy Helps body absorb nutrients Removes waste Bones are 22% water Muscles are 75% water Cushions joints

A lot of people hit plateaus because they are not getting in enough protein and are probably also consuming too many carbs. So, the difficulty is that our bodies take a few days to continue processing and storing the carbs we've eaten which means that radical changes don't necessarily result in immediate weight loss (it takes a few days to get your body back into ketosis). As a result, the simplest way to break a plateau is to serously curtail your carbohydrate consumption (try for less than 20 grams per day) while boosting your protein intake (strive for at least 80 grams per day). If you have sugar free popsicles, remember that most have 8-12 grams of carbohydrates, which becomes a factor because your vitamins will also contain some carbohydrates. The thing to remember is that many of us never experienced plateaus and many others who hit plateaus eventually resumed weight loss by continuing all those healthy eating habits.
