You know water is essential for good health -- especially in the dog days of summer, when your risk of dehydration skyrockets along with the temperature. But here's a bonus: water can help you lose weight. Here's how.
1. Water helps curb your appetite
An American study reported at an American Chemical Society conference in 2010 found that middle-aged or older people who drank two cups of water before eating a meal consumed 75 to 90 fewer calories at that meal than people who did not.
