Does fat matter so much? Why can’t we just eat, drink and be merry? Let’s start from the basics. Fats are generally soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in water. Chemically, fats are triglycerides.

They are broken down when the body needs to produce energy. These are broken down into fatty acids and glycerols and are then absorbed into your muscle tissue and internal organs where they further broken down through various chemical processes.
If the products left over from these chemical processes are not used by the body as energy, they are then considered waste products and need to be removed from the body. This is where the role of water comes in. Your body needs enough water every day to keep hydrated and cleanse itself of unwanted materials. Fat deposits that form on the body can be tough to break down and eliminate, but proper nutrition and exercise can help greatly with this.

The leftover materials from the fat breakdown are filtered out of your organs by the water that you drink. The water carries the waste to your bladder where it is then expelled from your body through your urine. It is important to drink enough water each day to keep you hydrated and facilitate the breakdown and elimination of fat cells.
Many sources claim that you should be consuming around 8 glasses of water per day, but this number can largely vary depending on your size, how often you are exercising and even how hot it is outside. Try and keep drinking water consistently throughout the day and consider water before soda, fruit juices or other sugary drinks as these can actually dehydrate your body even more.
