Water helps nearly every part of the human body function efficiently.
Considering that our bodies are almost two-thirds water, it is important to
understand water's role in healthy lifestyles. The following are just some
of the things water does in the body:
Brain is 75% water / Moderate dehydration can cause headaches and
dizziness
Water is required for breathing
Regulates body temperature
Carries nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body
Blood is 92% water
Moistens oxygen for breathing
Protects and cushions vital organs
Helps to convert food into energy
Helps body absorb nutrients
Removes waste
Bones are 22% water
Muscles are 75% water
Cushions joints

A lot of people hit plateaus because they are not getting in enough protein
and are probably also consuming too many carbs. So, the difficulty is that
our bodies take a few days to continue processing and storing the carbs
we've eaten which means that radical changes don't necessarily result in
immediate weight loss (it takes a few days to get your body back into
ketosis). As a result, the simplest way to break a plateau is to serously
curtail your carbohydrate consumption (try for less than 20 grams per day)
while boosting your protein intake (strive for at least 80 grams per day).
If you have sugar free popsicles, remember that most have 8-12 grams of
carbohydrates, which becomes a factor because your vitamins will also
contain some carbohydrates.
The thing to remember is that many of us never experienced plateaus and
many others who hit plateaus eventually resumed weight loss by continuing
all those healthy eating habits.
