“After 30 days, I noticed that drinking enough water helps to regulate the digestive system and fight constipation and bloating,” Garitano said. “Another thing that surprised me, is that the more water I drank, the more my body told me it needed, regardless of how much I consumed.” “.
And she continued, “The water helped me expel the fat from the body.” Previous studies have shown that water boosts the body’s energy expenditure and converts stored fat into ‘fuel’.
