The kidneys cannot function properly without enough water. When they do not work to capacity, some of their load is dumped on the liver. One of the liver's primary functions is to metabolize stored fat into usable energy for the body. But if the liver has to do some of the kidney's work, it cannot work at maxim efficiency. Water helps you look your best. You've heard this since high school, and it's true. Water will do wonders for your looks! It flushes out toxins in your skin, leaving you with a clear, glowing complexion. It also makes your skin look younger. Skin that is becoming saggy, either due to aging or weight loss, plumps up very nicely when the skin cells are hydrated.

4. Eat lots fruits.

Start eating some fruits that you haven't eaten before. Fruits come in all shape, sizes, and flavors. Put berries, apples, or bananas into your hot or cold breakfast cereals. Try to have some fruit with each and every meal. Allow for sliced carrot, apples, grapes, or any fruit in your lunch bag. A fruit salad is a outstanding ideal for lunch. Fruit is great for snacks. Encourage your kids also to snack with fruits rather than with cakes and candy.

 5. Get support from friends and family
