Can the impact of good hydration help with dieting and weight loss?

I) Fruits and vegetables, the basis of a healthy diet.

                                              

Fruits are foods characterized by their low calorie content due to their high water content and low fat content, as well as their high fiber, vitamin, mineral, and various micronutrient content. Fruits and vegetables are important sources of some of these nutrients in our diet: this is the case for vitamin C, folate, and vitamin A provided by provitamin A carotenoids.

Fibers affect satiety, fecal excretion and intestinal motor activity, metabolic parameters, including fasting and postprandial plasma lipids, and the characteristics of colonic flora due to the prebiotic effects of certain fibers.

Vitamin C has reducing properties that underlie its biological activity. It has antioxidant activity and acts as a cofactor in oxygen-catalyzed reactions. In addition, it is known for its ability to inhibit the synthesis of nitrosamines, carcinogenic compounds.

Provitamin A carotenoids (α- and β-carotenes) generate vitamin A, which has an essential role in the physiology of retinal nerve cells.

Vitamin B9 is represented by the group of folates or polyglutamates. Folates participate in the metabolism of amino acids and nucleic acids.

In women at the time of procreation it is associated with a risk of neural tube closure defect of the fetus.

Vitamin K is an essential cofactor for the carboxylation of certain proteins involved in blood coagulation and in the activation of osteocalcin necessary for bone mineralization.

More recent studies are attempting to clarify the role of this vitamin in bone mineralization processes. Potassium works closely with sodium to maintain the body's acid-base and fluid balance; high intracellular concentrations are necessary for proper cell function. A high dietary intake of potassium may protect against the development of high blood pressure.

Magnesium, the second intracellular cation, is a major element: most metabolic pathways are magneto-dependent and this element plays a key role in the ionic balance of membranes. Intracellular magnesium is thought to play a key role in the regulatory action of insulin and in the proper functioning of the vascular system.

Non-provitamin polyphenols and carotenoids have antioxidant properties. However, these properties appear to be limited in vivo given the low concentrations found in plasma. These compounds are generally poorly absorbed and some, such as polyphenols, are extensively metabolized. New pathways of action are currently being explored.

Other compounds such as glucosinolates and sulfur compounds are of great interest due to their potentially protective properties against tumor development. The levels of all these micronutrients and microconstituents vary depending on many parameters such as the variety or physiological stage of the plant, climate (light, temperature), cultural practices (fertilization, irrigation), post-harvest storage conditions and culinary practices, which makes it difficult to assess actual intakes.

I It is recommended to drink at least 1.5 liters of water per day. But this intake can also be provided by fresh fruit, which all contain more than 80% of its weight in water.

II) Our advice for keeping yourself well hydrated throughout the day.

Good daily hydration has very positive consequences for your health.

By drinking moderately throughout the day or by opting for effective grandmother's tips: mixtures containing ginger and lemon or herbal teas. On the other hand, it is recommended to pour a teaspoon of bicarbonate into a glass of warm water and stir the mixture well then drink it. Others, for their part, prefer to opt for isotonic drinks ... But in reality, these tips do not all offer absolute effectiveness.

If dehydration is mild, simply drinking plain water may be sufficient. However, if water and electrolyte loss has occurred, salt replacement (especially sodium and potassium) is also necessary. There are several commercially available drinks that have been formulated to help replace salts (electrolytes) lost during vigorous exercise or illness.

Hydratis offers this type of life-saving drink. By consuming these drinks, you can prevent dehydration or treat mild dehydration. The process is very simple: simply add the effervescent tablets to a large glass of water and drink it. This can be done up to 2 or 3 times a day as needed to optimize hydration. Drinking plenty of fluids and taking a little extra salt during or after exercise or during illness will also be effective.

If dehydration worsens and blood pressure drops enough to cause shock or near shock, it is an emergency situation requiring immediate medical attention. In such a severe case, an intravenous solution containing sodium chloride may be administered.

The underlying cause of dehydration should always be treated. For example, if diarrhea is the cause, medications that treat or stop diarrhea may also be necessary. Once the cause of dehydration is treated, you will need to be monitored to ensure you are drinking enough fluids to stay hydrated. Your doctor may test your kidney function to ensure your kidneys are functioning properly when you are taking normal amounts of fluids.

If a child experiences symptoms of dehydration , contact a health professional immediately.

To prevent dehydration, drink enough water or fluid replacement products when conditions are conducive to dehydration (e.g., hot, humid, or cold weather, high altitude, vigorous physical exertion). It is also important to avoid alcoholic or caffeinated beverages, which accelerate dehydration by increasing urine output. It is recommended to consume 2 to 3 liters (about 8 glasses) of fluids every day.

III) How can Hydratis support you in your weight loss process?

Why will being well hydrated be beneficial during weight loss?

Water is a natural appetite suppressant

When the stomach senses fullness, it sends signals to the brain to stop eating. Water takes up space in the stomach, leading to a feeling of fullness and thus reducing hunger.

Drinking a glass of water before eating can also help reduce unnecessary snacking . Participants in a 2014 study drank 500 ml of water about 30 minutes before each meal, in addition to their regular water intake. After eight weeks, they noticed a reduction in weight, body fat, and a decreased appetite.

Accelerate calorie burning

Some research suggests that water can help burn calories . Scientists have noticed that water temporarily increases the body's resting energy expenditure. Cold water may be particularly effective: the body expends even more energy, and therefore calories, to heat the liquid it digests.

Boost waste disposal

When the body is dehydrated, it cannot properly eliminate waste in the form of urine or feces. Water helps the kidneys filter toxins, while the body retains essential nutrients and electrolytes. When the body is dehydrated, the kidneys retain fluid. Water also helps the body recover from digestive problems, such as diarrhea and indigestion.

Hydratis provides better hydration, replaces lost minerals and helps your cells fight oxidative stress.

Above all, don't wait until you're thirsty to hydrate! Drink Hydratis when you need extra hydration and if you're trying to lose weight. This helps you optimize water absorption at these times and eliminate waste from your body.

Change your lifestyle by reducing your calorie intake, avoiding refined sugars, exercising regularly and staying hydrated. We recommend dissolving two Hydratis lozenges in a large glass of water two to three times a day to maintain continuous hydration, which is conducive to significant weight loss. Don't wait any longer, head to Hydratis because your well-being is our priority.
