【女性私房菜】“喝”出来的健康瘦美人!（二）

The Water Health Report:
How eight glasses a day keeps the fat off！

有益于健康的水报告：为何每天8杯水可以赶出脂肪？

红卡我上周在国外的健康类网上闲逛的时候，看到了一篇文章：Water Health Report - How eight glasses a day keeps the fat off!（有益于健康的水报告：为何每天8杯水可以赶出脂肪），我觉得内容不错，所以，特地翻译出来，与关注健康和有减肥愿望的朋友们分享，作为【女性私房菜】“喝”出来的健康瘦美人!（一） 的第二部分。

Incredible as it may seem...Water is the single most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off! Although most of us take it for granted...Pure, clean water may be the only true Magic Potion for permanent weight loss!

听起来可能难以置信，在减肥和保持体重方面，水是唯一的非常重要的催化剂。虽然我们大部分人不以为然，都不觉得喝水有什么特效，但是，纯净清澈的水在我们减肥过程中起到举足轻重的作用。

Water suppresses the appetite naturally and helps the body metabolize stored fat. Studies have shown that a decrease in water intake will cause fat deposits to increase!And an increase in water intake can actually reduce fat deposits!

开水可以抑制食欲，并有助于身体代谢掉储存的脂肪。研究显示，水分摄取减少将导致脂肪堆积增加。反之，水分摄取增加有助于减少脂肪的堆积。

Here's the reason why... 原因如下

The kidneys cannot function properly without enough water. When they do not work to capacity, some of their load is dumped on the liver. One of the liver's primary functions is to metabolize stored fat into usable energy for the body. But if the liver has to do some of the kidney's work, it cannot work at full throttle. As a result, it metabolizes less fat... more fat remains stored in the body and weight loss stops!

肾脏如果水分不足便无法正常发挥功能。当肾脏无法胜任其工作时，某些工作便会落到肝脏去负荷。肝脏的主要功能之一是将储存的脂肪代谢为可供身体需要的能量。但是如果肝脏必须承担一些原本属于肾脏的工作，肝脏便无法发挥完全功能。其结果是，肝脏所代谢的脂肪便较少，更多的脂肪将储存于体内，因此减轻体重将不再进行。

Drinking an adequate amount of water every day is the best treatment for fluid retention. But when your body is given less water than it needs... it perceives the shortage as a threat to survival and will begin to retain every drop. Water reserves are stored in extra-cellular spaces (outside the cells). This water can show up as swollen feet, hands and legs.

每天大量喝水是治疗闭尿症的最好方法。当体内的水分不够身体需要时，我们的身体会将之理解为对生存的威胁，因此就会开始将任何一滴水分都保留在体内。水分被储存在细胞外空间(细胞外面)。此一作用显示于外的就是浮肿的双脚、双手、和双腿。

Diuretics only offer a temporary solution at best. They force out stored water along with some essential nutrients. Again, the body perceives a threat and will replace the lost water at the first opportunity. Thus, the condition quickly returns.

使用利尿剂，充其量只能暂时解决问题，因为利尿剂除了将储存的水分逼出体外，同时也逼出了某些身体必要营养元素。这时，身体再度感受到威胁，便会在第一是将尽快补充那些被逼出体外的水分，因此闭尿症的浮肿现象很快又恢复了。

The best way to overcome the problem of water retention is to give your body what it needs — plenty of water — only then will stored water be released. If water retention is a constant problem for you... excess salt may be to blame!

解决闭尿症问题的最好方法，就是针对您身体的需要补充大量水分。唯有如此，储存在体内的水分才会释放出来。如果您不断出现闭尿症的问题，...过剩的盐将承担全部责任（盐分过多可能是祸首）。

Your body will only tolerate sodium in certain concentrations. The more salt you eat, the more water your system retains to dilute it. But getting rid of unneeded salt is easy — just drinks more water! As the water is forced through the kidneys, it will remove the excess sodium.

您的身体只能忍受某种浓度的纳。您吃的盐越多，您的系统便会留住越多的水分来稀释它。但要排除多余的盐份很简单→多喝开水就好了。当水分流经肾脏时，便会带出多余的纳。

Over weight people need more water than thin people. Larger people have larger metabolic loads. Since we know that water is the key to fat metabolism... it follows that the over weight person needs more water to metabolize excess fat.

体重过重的人比瘦的人需要更多的水。体型较大的新陈代谢负荷也比较大。由于我们知道，水是脂肪新陈代谢的关键，因此，体重过重的人需要较多的水。

Water helps to maintain proper muscle tone... which in turn, aids proper muscle contraction and prevents dehydration. It also helps to prevent the sagging skin that usually follows weight loss. Shrinking cells are buoyed by water which plums the skin and leaves it clear, healthy and resilient.

水分可提供肌肉自然收缩能力并防止脱水，因此有助于保持适当的肌肉紧张度。水分还有助于防止减重后通常出现的皮肤松弛。收缩的细胞浮悬在水分当中。即筒作用将水分不断抽向皮肤，使得皮肤清洁、健康、和富弹性。

Water helps rid the body of waste. During weight loss, the body has more waste to get rid of, and all that metabolized fat must be shed.

水分亦有助于排除体内废物。在减重过程中，身体会产生更多需要排除的废物→所有新陈代谢过的脂肪必须排出。

Again — water helps flush out this waste! 再者，充足的水分有助于排出体内的废物。

Water can help relieve constipation . . . 水有助于舒缓便秘现象。

The colon is a primary internal water source. When the body gets too little water, it siphons what it needs from internal sources. Result? Constipation. But when a person drinks enough water... normal bowel function will return.

结肠是一种初步的内部水源。当身体的水分不够时，便会从体内其他器官吸取水分。结肠便是身体的主要吸取水分来源。结果呢？便秘便发生了。但当一个人喝下足够的水时，正常的肠功能便恢复了。

So far, we have discovered same remarkable truths about water and about weight loss... The body will not function properly without enough water and cannot metabolize stored fat efficiently. On the household weight scales... Retained water shows up as excess weight.

It may seem strange, but to get rid of excess water... You must drink more water!

Drinking water is essential to losing weight.

目前为止，我们已经发现一些有关水及减重的重大事实。如果没有足够的水分，身体便无法正常运作，也无法有效代谢储存的脂肪。留在体内的水分变成了多余的体重。如果要去除这些多余水分，您必须喝更多的水。多喝水对于减重是绝对必要的。

How much water is enough? 喝多少水才够呢？

If you are a normal weight for your height, then on average you should drink (8) eight — 8 oz. glasses of pure water every day. However, if you are overweight you should take one additional glass for every 25 lbs. of excess weight you are trying to lose. The amount that you drink should be increased if you exercise, or if the weather is hot and dry.

一般人应该每天喝8杯开水(每杯约250cc)。但超重的人需要喝更多开水，大约每超重11公斤，便需要多喝一杯开水。如果你有运动或天气炎热而干燥，您的喝水量便应该适度增加。

Preferably, your drinking water should be taken cold...Cold water is absorbed more quickly into the system than warm water. Some evidence suggests that drinking cold water can actually burn calories. To utilize water most efficiently during weight loss, follow this schedule:

喝水时以冷开水为佳，因为冷开水比温开水容易为身体系统所吸收。某些证据显示，喝冷开水有助于燃烧卡路里。为了在减重期间对水分做最有效利用，最好遵照以下时间及份量饮用开水：

早起后：空腹喝500ml

上午十点：在30分钟内喝1000ml

下午三点：在30分钟内喝1000ml

晚上：晚间5-8点间喝500ml

When the body gets all the water it needs to function optimally, all body system fluids will perfectly balance. When this happens . . . you reach the "breakthrough point".

当身体获得了维持最佳运作所需要水分，体内的液体便处于完美的均衡状态。当出现此状况时，您的身体便达到"突破点"。

So what does that mean?

Endocrine gland function improves... Fluid retention is alleviated as stored water is lost...More fat can be used as fuel because the liver is free to metabolize stored fat...Natural thirst returns...There is a loss of hunger almost overnight.

这代表着什么意思呢？内分泌腺机能获得改善...闭尿现象因为储存水分排出而缓和...由于肝脏可以充分用来代谢脂肪，更多的脂肪备用做燃料...自然的口渴感恢复了...饥饿赶几乎在一夜间便消失了...

But don't forget this...If you stop drinking enough water your body fluids will again be thrown out of balance . . . 但是别忘记：如果你喝的水又不够了，您体内的液体又再度失衡，

Once again you may experience fluid retention, unexplained weight gain and loss of thirst!

So what's the remedy this situation? Start over . . . Increase your water intake to force another breakthrough!

您将再度遭受闭尿症之苦，莫名其妙地增加体重、并失去口渴感，因此采取什么样的措施来补救这种情况呢？要补救这种状况，您必须再喝大量的开水，使您的身体再达到另一次"突破点"。
