Water is the body's most important nutrient. Bariatrics recommends eight (8) 8oz. glasses of water each day. Water cleanses the body of its impurities and assists in breaking down the fat cells for improved metabolism. Be sure to drink a glass of water with each meal and add a wedge of lemon or lime for flavor. Bariatrics Works!
