Revived and Revitalized THE WONDROUS PROPERTIES OF HOT WATER

We are aware that water drinkers consume fewer calories than nonwater drinkers, and the link between consuming sweetened beverages and obesity attests to this. Beverage brands may boast the supposedly remarkable attributes of their energy drink and mineral water brands, but none can beat the benefits of water — and there’s research to prove it. Water is necessary to keep our bodies functioning, and drinking enough is essential to live healthily and reach our full fitness potential. However, a new development shows that it is possible to unlock even more of water’s potential — by drinking it hot! Enhanced Weight Loss While many know that drinking enough can make you feel full, it may actually do much more, depending on the temperature of the water and when you drink it. Research shows

that drinking water can increase your metabolic rate and daily energy expenditure, which helps you burn calories and lose weight. If you want to lose weight, try drinking some hot water before your meal. Studies also show that drinking hot water 30–40 minutes before you eat can increase your metabolism by 40%, compared to just 30% from drinking room- temperature water! Additionally, researchers recommend drinking 2 liters of water, heated to at least 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, to kickstart your energy expenditure throughout the day. Cleanse Your System One of the first side effects of drinking hot water is increased body temperature, which can lead to sweating and natural detoxification. Additionally, drinking hot water aids in preventing constipation, bloating, and hemorrhoids and helps break down food faster than cold water.

If you want to lose weight or partake in some natural detoxification, it may be time to incorporate some hot water into your diet. It may be a hot take, but science suggests that ditching soft drinks for some heated H2O will benefit your health!

Follicular Hair Restoration

Safe, Effective, and Minimally Invasive

Hair loss can take a toll on a man’s confidence, comfort, and happiness. The older men get, the more likely it is they lose their hair. According to research from the Journal of Dermatologic Surgery, by the time men reach 40, 53% will have suffered hair loss. Fortunately, follicular unit extraction, commonly known as FUE, can change the outlook for balding patients entirely. Best of all, FUE is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure rather than a surgical operation. Patients can watch as their bald spots become revitalized using their own hair. Here’s how FUE works and how it can improve your life. Revolutionary Procedure Hair transplants have come a long way since they were introduced 70 years ago. In 2003, FUE entered the scene, surpassing FUT and punch hair transplants in effectiveness and popularity. Where FUT

requires stitches and leaves large, noticeable scars, FUE leaves minimal signs of removal and does not require the use of stitches. This is because FUE involves your surgeon using micro punches to extract hair from your scalp before moving it to the thinning areas. This extraction method is safer and more discreet than previous methods of hair restoration, which is why we recommend it to patients suffering from hair loss. Regrowth and Recovery FUE is performed throughout 1–2 outpatient procedures, requiring no anesthesia and leaving no noticeable artifacts. After the procedure, you can go home and recuperate. You can expect your hair to regrow within 3–4 months. It is time to reclaim your hair and your confidence. Book a consultation with us today by calling our office at 281-940-1535 .
