Drinking water before meals could help you lose weight, according to a new study.
The study found that drinking just 500ml of water 30 minutes before eating led to greater weight loss in overweight and obese adults.
Participants who drank water before meals lost an average of 1.3kg more than those who didn't over a 12-week period.
Drinking water before meals could also help reduce appetite and calorie intake.
The study suggests that drinking water before meals could be a simple and effective weight loss strategy.
Drinking water is also important for overall health and hydration.
