When we talk about how much water you need to drink, doctors recommend drinking at least 4-6 glasses a day, as this helps prevent the negative effects of dehydration.
Unfortunately, many of us do not follow these recommendations because we find it difficult to find time to drink water, or we only drink water during meals or after exercise.
But a good way to trick yourself is to drink one or two glasses of water when you wake up in the morning. This will also improve your digestion and ensure that you consume fewer calories at breakfast.
Let's take a closer look at the benefits that the habit of drinking a glass of water on an empty stomach in the morning will bring you.
1. Energy and nutrition for the brain
When our brains are dehydrated, we experience serious disruptions in their functioning. This can include mood and concentration problems, frequent headaches, and even increased feelings of fatigue and anxiety.
2. Speed up your metabolism
Water can help jump-start your metabolism in the morning if you drink it on an empty stomach.
If you're looking to lose weight, drinking a glass of water in the morning will help increase the number of calories you burn throughout the day and flush out toxins and byproducts of fat cell breakdown.
3. Your skin will thank you
Unfortunately, when you're dehydrated, your blood thickens and your organs begin to pull fluid from your skin because they need fluid to function properly. This means your skin loses moisture.
This can eventually deplete it completely and lead to wrinkles. If you want to look young, first of all, drink water on an empty stomach in the morning.
4. Improves heart and kidney health
When you drink water in the morning, you help your kidneys flush out toxins that accumulated while you sleep. When these toxins are flushed out of your body, your circulation improves because your body doesn't need as much energy to flush out the waste.
In addition, increasing fluid intake will increase the volume of fluid passing through the kidneys, which will dilute any minerals deposited there. This is also a preventative for stone formation.
Are there any special rules?
If we talk about some specific actions that should become a habit for you, drink water in the morning before you sit down to eat or brush your teeth.
Typically, you should drink about 2.5 glasses of warm water, but if this is difficult for you, start with one glass and gradually increase the volume.
After you have drunk your water, brush your teeth. You can have breakfast only after 30-40 minutes. And during the day, drink water whenever you feel thirsty.
