Water helps digest protein, burn fat, prevent back problems.

How does drinking water prevent back problems? Most people are not aware that they should be drinking almost an ounce of water per pound of body weight in order to stay adequately hydrated. For example, the bones are made up largely of water and if the body is consistently dehydrated, the bones and the skin suffer, which can lead to problems. Benefits of water says Houston Personal trainer Melissa... Maintains proper hydration of the skin so body does not look wrinkled,  The bones are filled with water so maintaining proper water intake keeps the lower back healthy. Water with lemon can help flush fat and digest protein.  In hot climates like Houston, by the time a person is thirsty, they are usually already dehydrated. Water that has been purified by reverse osmosis has the best taste according to Houston Personal Trainer Melissa of Citiflex.com and she recommends keeping water in the car, the office and in a backpack, when working out with a trainer to help promote fat loss, keep from feeling hungry and to keep hydrated. Houston Personal Trainer Melissa has a reverse osmosis filter on her water for her home because some neighborhoods have heavy metals in the water which can be unhealthy to consume over time and reverse osmosis takes out heavy metals. Some beverages make the body lose water and are diuretics such as tea, diet cola and coffee and alcohol. More water needs to be consumed to compensate for these beverages. Also, some studies show that adding lemon to water helps the body burn fat.Some of these, such as Colas, also cause the body to lose important minerals. At the very least, when doing bodybuilding and consuming protein, drinking lemon water helps the body to digest protein faster because of the acid in the lemon.
