Feeling bloated?

I only recently 'get' the whole bloated/water retention thing (I think!). Basically (correct me if I'm wrong), the less water you drink, the more your body will want to hold onto whatever water it gets, thus retaining water and leading to that bloated feeling. However, if you are regularly giving your body water, your body will have no need to hold onto as much as it knows it is getting some on a regular basis. As a poor water drinker I decided to put this to the test and even within 24 hours my stomach had gotten flatter and within 3 days it was flatter than it had been in months!! You just can't beat drinking it. I especially love it during exercise and first thing in the morning.
