Drinking water prevents from weight gain ?

Drinking enough water every day has long been cited as important for health. Water is lost through many everyday body functions such as breathing, perspiring, urination, and bowel movements.
For your body to function properly, water must be regularly replenished through consuming beverages and foods containing water. Lack of water can lead to dehydration, tiredness, and, at the severe end of the scale, it can be life-threatening.While the amount of hydration an individual needs depends on weight, age, and activity level, the Dietary Reference Intake of fluids from both food and beverages per day is a recommended 2.7-3.7 liters for adults.New research from the University of Michigan suggests that people who have a higher body mass index (BMI) and are considered obese are more likely to not be properly hydrated.The findings, published in the Annals of Family Medicine, are composed of a nationally representative sample of 9,528 adults from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).The survey ranged in age from 18-64, and about one third of participants were inadequately hydrated.
