Cebu City – Have you ever wondered on why you should be drinking water after waking up? Ever ask what are the effects of drinking water in the morning? We all know that hydration is important. Without water literally our body would stop working properly. Our body would even tell us on when we need to drink water thru the feeling of being thirsty. Do you drink water after waking up?
First let’s tackle on why hydration is important. Staying hydrated is essential in keeping our body healthy. Much of our body or 70% of our body is made up of water. So, it’s a no brainer on why we need to drink a lot of water every day to compensate water loss through our bodily processes.
Drinking water in the morning helps our body:
- Cleanses the toxins after a night’s sleep
- Supports and improves our metabolism
- Purifies our digestive system
- Helps prevent indigestion
- Prevents kidney stones and bladder infections
- Strengthen immune system
It’s time to eliminate those superstitious beliefs about not drinking water in the morning, and start your day hydrated. Although we get water from food items we consume every day, it will not suffice with the water that we lose. Drinking sugar sweetened beverages such as sodas, fruit drinks, and even energy drinks can’t fully hydrate our body, and these products have high concentration of sugar which may lead you to develop diabetes. So, it recommended that you drink safe and clean water at least 8-10 glasses a day and increase it especially on a hot day. // NO I Gab Flores, RND
