It is better to start the day with a glass of clean water. It will help you wake up, but will also be beneficial for the body.

Specialist Elena Tikhomirova told Izvestia in more detail.

She noted that this restores the water balance, which can be disrupted due to fluid loss during sleep, and this habit also has a positive effect on the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and urinary system.

In addition, as the doctor explained, such a simple habit prevents blood from thickening, and therefore reduces the risk of blood clots.

Brain function also improves.

Tikhomirova, in a conversation with journalists, emphasized that those who want to get rid of extra pounds should also start the day with a glass of water.

Still, water on an empty stomach dulls the feeling of hunger and helps speed up metabolic processes.

But it is important to drink water not only in the morning, but throughout the day to maintain water balance. This habit will have a positive effect on the condition of your hair and skin.
