Some may
surprise you & some won’t. As you
can see water is always best, Water supresses 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, while an increase in water intake
can actually reduce fat deposits.
