Drinking water can help with weightloss.

I have always known that drinking water is good for you and your health. I also knew that I needed to drink 6 to eight glasses a day. I even knew water is the reason your body works the way it does and without water your body would not be able to perform even the simplest functions.  I even new water also helps the way your body looks and it can help you lose weight and become more fit.

 But here is a few things I did not know I did not know that drinking ice water helps you burn calories t it takes one calorie to warm 1 kg of ice water by 1 degree C. Drinking 64 oz. of water a day will help you burn an extra 70 calories, estimates Mark McManus of the website Muscle Hack.

I also did not know that a person who increases his water consumption by 1.5 liters a day would burn an extra 17,400 calories, for a weight loss of approximately five pounds. They note that up to 40% of the increase in calorie burning is caused by the body's attempt to heat the ingested water. The findings are reported in the December issue of The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.

I also did not know that drinking water would make your skin healthily and make you look younger.

I guess there is more to water than quenching your thirst.
