Summary

To test the effect of ASEA consumption on 24-hour resting energy expenditure. Hypothesis: consumption of 8-oz of ASEA water (4-oz before breakfast and 4-oz before bedtime) will significantly elevate 24-h resting energy expenditure as compared to consumption of a placebo control (salt water, same dietary intake).

Conditions

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Salt Water

Subjects to arrive fasted and will spend two 24-h periods inside the metabolic chamber (ASEA or salt water) with a one week interval between visits. Blood will be drawn at 9 am prior to consumption of salt water or breakfast, and at 11 am after consumption of salt water and breakfast. Subjects will receive a second portion of salt water at 10:15 pm just prior to bedtime. The energy content of meals will be identical at each visit.
