Introduction
• Water plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI). It doesn't directly
affect your BMI, which is calculated based on your weight and height, but it contributes to
overall health and weight management in several ways. Brief overview of the limitations of
BMI and its focus solely on weight.
• Highlighting the often-overlooked role of water in influencing weight and, consequently,
BMI.
• Hydration: Water is essential for every cell, tissue, and organ in your body. Staying well-
hydrated helps your body function optimally and can contribute to maintaining a healthy
weight
• Appetite Control: Sometimes, our bodies can mistake thirst for hunger. Drinking water can
help control appetite by making you feel full, which can prevent overeating and help
maintain a healthy weight.
• Metabolism Boost: Water can help boost your metabolism. A faster metabolism burns
more calories, which can help with weight loss and maintaining a healthy BMI.4. Exercise
Performance: Water is essential for optimal muscle function.

Case Studies: Success Stories

Case Studies: Success Stories of Hydration
➢ Effect of excessive water intake on body weight, body mass index, body fat,
and appetite of overweight female participants.
✓ Obesity is a major public health issue, which is prevalent pandemically among all age
groups. Hence, the urgent need to manage this overwhelming epidemic of obesity cannot
be overemphasized. In the present study, an attempt has been made to see the effect of
drinking excessive water in female overweight participants, in terms of weight loss. The
decrease in body weight, BMI, sum of skinfold thickness, and appetite score of overweight
participants at the end of study period establishes the role of drinking excessive water in
weight reduction, body fat reduction, and appetite suppression of participants. Thus, water
drinking induced increase in sympathetic activity is an important and unrecognized
component of daily energy expenditure. If confirmed in future studies with larger number of
subjects, this cost free intervention may be a useful adjunctive treatment in overweight and
obese individuals to attain an increase in energy expenditure.
