Recently, scientists announced their findings regarding the correlation between drinking water and body weight. In a randomized study, researchers from Virginia Tech observed a group of people who are overweight 55-year-old for three months.

All respondents underwent a low-calorie diet. Half were asked to drink two cups of water before eating. At the end of the study proved that the weight of people who are accustomed to drinking water will be reduced approximately 15.5 pounds (about 7 kg), whereas those who do not drink water only decreased 4.9 kg.

Research in 2008 also showed similar results, namely weight reduction up to 13 percent in people who drink water before breakfast.

However, another study in 2007 showed slightly different results. It said that drinking water 30 minutes before eating it to reduce your calorie intake and hunger. However, this effect is only obtained by someone older. In people whose age is less than 35 years, the benefits of drinking water before meals is not very pronounced.

It is not clear why it happened. However, experts suspect the elderly man who started it has the risk of weight gain is higher.

That’s why experts concluded that drinking water before eating can reduce calorie intake. However, the impact is more pronounced in people who began the elderly.

Then recruited 34 men and women, and offer low-calorie diet that has a kind of pepper is not spicy, or placebo pills (often used in clinical trials to the real effects of drugs or supplements to measure).

From the experiments, the researchers found that the rate of energy expenditure by those who consume the most amount of capsaicin almost twice those taking placebo pills. Does slim fast work? eat spicy food for it.
