Drinking Water Improves Weight Loss
New research shows something as simple as drinking water before a meal can help you lose weight.
It takes a good amount of water — 16 ounces before you eat.
Researchers followed two groups of older adults on a low-fat diet. Half drank two eight-ounce glasses before every meal, half didn’t.
The study found those who drank the water lost more than 40 percent more weight after three months, and the people who continued drinking water before meals kept the weight off after a year.
Experts say the trick may work because the water helps fill your stomach and makes you feel less hungry.
New research shows it’s safe for women to get antibiotics just before they have their babies via C-section.
Previously doctors thought the drugs could travel through the mother’s bloodstream to the baby, so women weren’t given the antibiotics until after the baby was out.
Doctors say the antibiotics are necessary because women are much more likely to develop an infection after a C-section than with a vaginal delivery.
Researchers found no harm came to the baby when the drugs were given an hour before surgery, and the results were better for mothers.
