Everyone has heard about the benefits of a glass of water on an empty stomach in the morning, but few people know what exactly these benefits are.

We'll tell you why you really need to drink a glass of water in the morning.

Why Drink Water on an Empty Stomach in the Morning

But the notorious lemon should not always be added. Water with lemon is contraindicated for gastritis, high acidity, heartburn, stomach ulcers.
