Over the past few years water has been one of those things that has been talked about quite a lot. Especially the health benefits of drinking lots of it some experts argue that there is really no great benefit to drinking plenty of it while others disagree.

Just recently some scientists put forward a recent paper looking into whether or not drinking water does help with weight loss.

"We are presenting results of the first randomized controlled intervention trial demonstrating that increased water consumption is an effective weight loss strategy," said Brenda Davy, Ph.D., senior author on the study ”

Here is what they found when they looked at some data from older studies who monitored middle aged people as well as some older people. Whom drank water before meals and drank two cups of water beforehand, they ate between 75 and 90 calories less.

If they drank water three times a day before each meal, they lost a total of five pounds compared to other participants who drank nothing before a meal. This new study, which was conducted, ran over a 12 week period and monitored 48 people aged between 55 and 75 years of age.

In one group, they drank two cups of water before having their meal, and the second group had nothing before their meal. All the people involved within the study were on a low calorie diet.

How many of us do eat the amount of leafy green vegetables that we should do. Preferably, we should eat five a day according to common knowledge but after reading this you may start to change your mind.

When an analysis was done into eating various foods, which included fruit and vegetables it was found that only foods, which had spinach and cabbage present within them had the most effect.

So if you eat a portion and a half a day with these particular foods in you will cut your risk of diabetes by 14 percent according to research, which was put together by the BMJ.

British Medical Journal. However, experts have said that you should still maintain eating five portions of fruit and vegetables each day.

The research found that just eating fruit and vegetables alone may not be enough to ward off type two diabetes, but all in all, it is a positive step to do so.

Yet when it came to analysing leafy green vegetables, which include things like broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower. The effect was meant to be more significant in warding off type two diabetes. So if you eat 106 grams of these types of vegetables this will cut your risk of getting diabetes by 14 percent, which is quite good when you think about what you have got to do.

Unless you have been living under a rock you may or may not of heard of twitter. Just to give you a brief explanation of what it is and how it works twitter is a micro blogging service.

Where you have an online account on twitter.com setting up a account is very easy. Once you have set up your account you are good to go.

In a nutshell, twitter is a 140 character micro blogging service originally it was designed for people who wanted to keep in contact with anybody and everybody. And you told people what you were doing at any particular time of the day.

These days though twitter is slightly more advanced so you can do more with it. When you first sign up you won't have any followers. However, this post will educate you on how to find them quite easily. Twitter ultimately is a rich source of information and shouldn't be passed up.

As it could help support you if you are wanting to lose weight and looking for the right type of foods to eat.

You may or may not realise this but there could be 40 or 50 people on twitter who may be trying to achieve the same things as you are. So with a bit of effort you can support each other in real time. Most modern phones have some sort of twitter client on it. However, it mostly applies to more modern expensive phones.

So now you may be thinking will this approach necessarily work for me? Just in case you may be sceptical here is what happened when a reporter from the New York Times tried this very approach. Here is what he said when first starting.
