Our increasingly polluted environment has led to widespread water contamination. It has been found that there are many hormones and other contaminants in water that can lead to weight gain. It is an important part of any weight loss plan to get these contaminants out of the water you consume. That way you get the most out of your weight-loss plan.

Key Takeaways:

• Researchers have long argued that there are many substances in our tap water that are not natural components of water. These include hormones and chemicals that disrupt normal hormonal operations.
• All British tap water comes into contact with the soil and the soil is contaminated by chemicals dumped in landfills. For example, the 56 member flame retardant family, PBDE, contained in furniture, electronics, building material, plastics, foams, and textiles, is a known hormone disrupter.
• Hormones play a definitive role in thousands of bodily functions, from sexual development to fertility to emotion to mood.

“Hormones in inappropriate amounts can make us put on weight by promoting fat storage, by suppressing excretion of waste, by hindering the body’s ability to absorb nutrients, by increasing the body’s resistance to insulin, by stimulating appetite, by inhibiting lean tissue (muscle) development, and so forth.”
