Where does fat go when you lose it?
Where does fat go when you lose it? The correct answer is that fat is converted to carbon dioxide and/or water. But contrary to what most people think, most of the fat leaving the body exits through exhalation. Most of it is breathed out as carbon dioxide, making the lungs the primary excretory organ for weight loss. So you lose fat when you exhale carbon dioxide. AND you lose fat by way of water, when it mixes into your circulation and is lost as urine or sweat.

BALANCING YOUR LIFE THROUGH BREATH
BALANCING YOUR LIFE THROUGH BREATH Think about this...breathing does not require conscious mind awareness. It, like many other bodily functions is controlled by the subconscious mind. Breathing, among other things, like blinking our eyes, or the beating of our hearts, etc. happens regardless of whether we focus on it or not. Ahhhhh but when we consciously focus on the breath; that is when things begin to change. We’ll get to that in a minute.

W A T E R.......101
WHO NEEDS IT AND WHY!
Water is the single most important nutrient for our bodies. Water is involved in EVERY function of our bodies. You can live five to seven weeks without food, but you could last no more than five days without water. Your body is about 50-70% water; your muscles are about 75% water; your brain cells are about 85% water. (One way to improve memory is to drink a lot of water, your brain loves water). Your blood is approximately 82% water, and even your bones are about 25% water.
Your body loses about two quarts of water a day through perspiration, urination, and exhalation. If you wait until you are thirsty to drink water, then you are most likely already dehydrated. Dehydration slows your metabolism up to 3%. A sluggish metabolism causes weight gain and lack of energy. When you are dehydrated your body temperature drops slightly and causes your body to store fat as a way to raise or maintaion body temperature. When you are dehydrated your body secretes aldosterone, a hormone that CAUSES water retention. Water plays a vital role in regulating body temperature.
Did you know that three-quarters of the weight of your body is supported by the fluid inside the disks of your spine? When the disks in your spine lack water, they begin to degenerate and herniate more quickly. Water cushions joints, and protects organs and tissues. Water transports nutrients and oxygen to your cells. Water removes wastes and toxins. Water flushes fats from your body.
I believe that water is the single best beauty treatment on the planet......and it's free! It keeps your skin supple, your eyes bright, your body spry, and it slows the aging process. Remember the only difference between a grape and a raisin is the water content.
ACTION STEPS: Increase your intake of not only water, but salads, fresh vegeetables and fruits, since they all contain a high percentage of water.
HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD YOU DRINK? Simply take your weight in pounds and divide it by 2. This number is how many ounces of water you should drink daily. And remember, when exercising, increase your water intake!
