Does drinking water increase/ speed up your metabolism?

[Goodsoulette]

if you are dehydrated then your body slows your metabolism down dramatically.

I used to have real problems not recognising thirst. I would just go much instead and then eat some more. So now I always have a glass of water before I eat to make sure I stop eating when I should. If you drink any diuretics, caffeine drinks or alcohol then drink at least that amount in water as well.
