It is recommended to drink a large glass of water before eating. This increases the energy turnover over a longer period of time. Additional calories can also be burned. If you can drink more than two litres of water a day without any problems, you can even lose weight "unintentionally". You should also be aware that you can support these effects with vitamin water from fruit and herbs, which is why we will explain the recipes in more detail in the following chapters.
Only with water is our organism able to excrete the absorbed pollutants every day. These are absorbed by environmental and home toxins, as well as, of course, by nutrition. The more harmful substances we absorb, the higher our water requirements. Unfavourable drinks for our metabolism are for example alcohol, coffee and black tea, soft drinks, sugary drinks, fruit concentrates or purchased fruit juices. Most fruit juices contain not only a lot of fructose, but also additional sugar. Fructose, by the way, is transformed much faster by our organism into fat than the normal household sugar. It also increases uric acid levels and the risk of diabetes. The typical lemonade and cola drinks also contain a lot of sugar and can cause serious health problems. If our metabolism is stimulated, then the storage of waste products and toxins is avoided. Slags, by the way, are the acids and toxins deposited in our body. They need to be neutralized so they don't burn our organs. Gout, for example, is the result of the deposition and slaging of uric acid. Slags are salts formed by our bodies, which are easily excreted through the kidneys, skin, lungs and intestines if they are in good health. If this is not the case, the diseases mentioned above occur.
Slags must therefore be removed from our bodies if we do not want to become ill. But they can also contribute to acidosis and thus to weakness of the connective tissue. In many women, the weakness of the connective tissue can be seen with pronounced dents on the buttocks and legs. If the connective tissue is not relieved, then understandably more and more slag accumulates over the years and the cellulite becomes much more intensive together with varicose veins. It is therefore also advisable in this respect to remove the metabolic waste products from our body in order to relieve our connective tissue, so that the skin is no longer as limp and wrinkled. Vitamin water is therefore not only ideal for detoxification, but also for our skin problems. The best thing to do is to get yourself a nice glass decanter, practical drinking bottles for the road, and a closable jug or jar so that you can prepare your aroma water with fruits and herbs yourself.
If you are not yet used to drinking large quantities of water, then simply place a striking 1.5 litre bottle in your immediate sight and try to empty it until you go to bed. After just a few days you will be able to see how this not only improves your general well-being, but also your skin. However, it is advisable to get used to it slowly so as not to overstrain the kidneys unnecessarily. If you can then drink the 1.5 litre bottle without any problems, then you are welcome to increase your daily dose a little more.
