5.Water, Part I: Drink Up
Water supports your metabolism in ways that might surprise you. The trick is to drink more than usual, or drink it instead of beverages with calories. Research suggests that water may:
Help you take in fewer calories
Boost calorie burning if you’re obese
Help your body burn fat
