Many people believe that the morning should start with a glass of water on an empty stomach.

However, not all gastroenterologists share this belief.

Doctors say that drinking a glass of water in the morning on an empty stomach will not improve digestion.

On the contrary, the risk that the digestion process will become significantly more difficult increases.

Experts warn that digestion may not start at all, precisely because of the liquid you drank.

For the process to take place, normal food must enter the stomach.

By the way, quite a few people have stated that after drinking a glass of water in the morning, they felt a feeling of heaviness in the stomach and a feeling of general discomfort.

Doctors never tire of reminding us that drinking too much liquid before breakfast can lead to digestive problems.

Since you are so thirsty, you should drink water during meals, not before them.

However, in general, the situation depends on the individual characteristics of the body and the person’s habits.

For example, if a person suffers from reflux, then even during meals he needs to drink as little as possible.

For some, a glass of water provides energy and, moreover, improves kidney function.
