“…Multiple studies have shown that CB consumption is strongly associated with weight gain, type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases [ 5 - 9 ]. On the other hand, the intake of PW does not have any adverse effects on people’s health, improves hydration [ 10 ], increases satiety [ 11 ] and thermogenesis [ 12 ], contributes to a minor energy intake of a total diet [ 13 ] and it has been observed that facilitates weight loss [ 10 , 11 ]. Despite these benefits, the evidence of the causal relation between intake of PW and weight loss is not convincing [ 14 ].…”

Plain water consumption is associated with lower intake of caloric beverage: cross-sectional study in Mexican adults with low socioeconomic status

et al. 2015

BackgroundPlain water (PW) should be the main beverage consumed by the population. However, consumption of caloric beverages (CB) has increased considerably worldwide. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the association between CB and PW intake in Mexican adults with a low socioeconomic status (SES).MethodsIn a cross-sectional design, beverage consumption was evaluated with a 24-h beverages recall using the five-step multiple-pass method recommended by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Physical activity, anthropometric and sociodemographic information were obtained. CB was defined as those beverages that provide energy, with the exception of low-fat milk and beverages with noncaloric sweeteners. Participants were classified into five groups according to their PW consumption (nondrinkers and four quartiles). Differences between groups were evaluated with ANOVA and Bonferroni tests for multiple comparisons among quartiles. A two-stage Heckman regression model was designed with robust standard errors, adjusting for potential confounders.ResultsA total of 1108 adults between 21 and 59 years of age were evaluated. A negative association was noted between PW intake and CB consumption (p <0.001) with the exception of natural juice, which was positive (p <0.01) and sodas that no differences were found between quartiles. Specifically, for every milliliter of PW, the intake of CB was 3.4, 1.3, 0.68 and 0.38 mL in each quartile, respectively (p <0.001). In Heckman’s model, PW consumers were 0.5 times less likely to consume CB (p = 0.029). This probability increased to 0.9 for low-fat milk, skim milk and beverages without added sugar (LFM-BWAS) consumers (p <0.001). Also, for every 100 mL of PW consumption, CB intake diminished by 20 mL (p <0.001). In turn, for every 100 mL of LFM-BWAS consumption, a reduction of 47 mL in CB was observed (p <0.001).ConclusionsHigher PW consumption was associated with lower CB consumption. This association suggests that future studies are warranted to determine if increasing PW intake in a low SES Mexican population can reduce intake of CB.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12889-015-1699-0) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…The findings of the study revealed that drinking excessive warm water over and above daily intake as per Japan water therapy, and then, considerable weight loss among subjects can be seen; this can be due to the effect of warm water that helps in increasing metabolic rate that will promote burning calories quickly. A similar study was done on overweight girls to see the effect of water-induced thermogenesis and suggested that there was a decrease in body weight, BMI, and body composition scores which were seen in overweight subjects who establish the role of waterinduced thermogenesis that is helping in increasing the metabolic rate in weight reduction of overweight subjects [13].…”

Objective: The objective of this study was to discover the effect of Japan water therapy with cinnamon on body composition in overweight and obese subjects. Methods: The study was conducted with 36 subjects divided into three groups, namely, Group A – water therapy with cinnamon (n=12), Group B – water therapy (n=12), and Group C – warm water (n=12), where Groups A and B were test groups and Group C was a control group. This study was carried out for 8 weeks. Body weight, waist/hip ratio (WHR), and body mass index (BMI) were measured every 15th day. Data were statistically analyzed by mean, standard deviation, and paired t-test using Getcalc.com Results: Out of all the groups, Group A showed desirable reduction in weight, WHR, and BMI, but statistically it was non-significant on WHR. Similarly, Group B had non-significant result with content to WHR but showed a moderate reduction in all categories. However, Group C as a control group both had either constant or minimal reduction in WHR and BMI being statistically non-significant. Conclusion: The findings of the study concluded that consumption of Japan water therapy with cinnamon helps in reduction of weight, WHR, and BMI within 8 weeks. Plain water therapy only had a moderate effect on reducing body composition in the same duration of time.

“…However, the mechanism remains unclear. Some studies have suggested that water intake elicited acute changes in human physiology because it provides a sympathetic stimulus, increasing the metabolic rate, which in turn augments the daily energy expenditure (28,29). Other authors reported that water drinking activates the autonomic nervous system and induces acute hemodynamic changes (30).…”

The association between water intake, body composition and cardiometabolic factors among children - The Cuenca study

et al. 2016

Introduction: Beverage consumption and its possible association with current obesity epidemic and metabolic syndrome is under investigation in recent years, however water intake is probably the most underestimated of all beverages and could play an important role. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the association between water intake, body composition and cardiometabolic factors in a sample of Spanish children. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 366 schoolchildren (53.5% girls) aged 9-11 years from the province of Cuenca in Spain. Data of anthropometrics, body composition, cardiometabolic risk factors and cardiorespiratory fi tness variables were collected. Beverage consumption was assessed using two non-consecutive 24 h dietary recalls. Results: We found an inverse association between the consumption of water (ml)/kg per weight with BMI, body fat, fat-free mass, waist circumference, insulin levels, HOMA-IR (p < 0.001), and with arterial pressure parameters, systolic (p < 0.010) and diastolic blood pressure (p < 0.028), and mean arterial pressure (p < 0.012), as well as direct associations with HDL cholesterol (p < 0.001). In ANCOVA analyses, children who drank less water (ml)/kg per weight, had higher levels of LDL cholesterol (p < 0.050) and lower levels of HDL cholesterol (p < 0.042), and overweight-obesity subjects drank less water (ml)/kg per weight than normal peers (p < 0.011). Besides, children with lower levels of HDL cholesterol and higher levels of triglycerides and blood pressure had less water intake as a beverage. Finally, children who drank less water from beverages had high levels of LDL cholesterol. Conclusions: Higher consumption of water (ml)/kg per weight was negatively associated with BMI, body fat, fat-free mass, waist circumference, insulin levels, HOMA-IR, and positively with HDL cholesterol in children independently of age, sex and cardiorespiratory fi tness. In addition, overweight-obese children drank less water (ml)/kg per weight than normoweight ones. Therefore, water consumption is associated with numerous health benefi ts and its adequate intake could contribute to prevent obesity and metabolic syndrome in childhood.
