Drink Water and Speed up your Metabolism

An interesting fact is that the human body comprises between 55 and 75 percent water, which is the first sign that water is important for good health.  Lean people hold more water in their bodies because muscle tissue holds more water than fat does.

If you want to boost your metabolism then you should be drinking sufficient water.  If your body is hydrated then so are your muscles.  Hydrated muscles work at their best and this not only makes your training more effective but causes your metabolism to speed up - even when you aren’t exercising.   

Basic rule of thumb is that we should be consuming approximately 2 litres of water per day.  You then need to take into consideration water lost through sweating.
