Why should you drink water right after waking up?

Japanese women are famous for their slim, healthy, and toned figures. While genetics play a role, their healthy morning habits may also help them stay healthy. Simply put, most Japanese women drink water as soon as they wake up.

Why is drinking water so important?

70% of your body is made up of water, so water is essential to keep your body alert and healthy. When your body's water needs are not met, it can cause both short-term and long-term negative health consequences.

Chronic dehydration can lead to rheumatoid arthritis, migraines, angina, colitis, digestive disorders, high blood pressure, obesity, hemorrhoids, breast cancer, tuberculosis, kidney stones, sinusitis and uterine cancer.

Help your body avoid these conditions by drinking water as soon as you wake up and making sure you stay hydrated throughout the day.

How does water help in treatment?

This is a proven method to help deal with body disorders, menstrual disorders and eye related diseases.

Additionally, you will feel energized all day long after doing this water treatment.

Drink about 160ml of water 4 times right after waking up, before brushing your teeth and on an empty stomach.

Do not eat anything for the next 45 minutes

Drink water at least 30 minutes before meals but not 2 hours after breakfast, lunch and dinner.

If you cannot drink 4 glasses of water on an empty stomach, you can start with one glass of water or as much as you can. You can gradually increase the amount of water until you reach your desired level of 640ml.

The main benefits of drinking water on an empty stomach:

1. Helps remove toxins from the body

When you drink water, water promotes bowel movements.

When you drink water in the morning on an empty stomach, you will eliminate all the toxins in your body, making your body healthy and refreshed. Drinking plenty of water can help increase the production of new muscle cells and blood cells.

2. Improve metabolism

Drinking water on an empty stomach can increase your metabolic rate by at least 24%. This is important for people on strict diets.

Increasing your metabolism means improving your digestive system. You will be able to stick to your regular diet more easily if you digest faster.

Drinking water right after waking up helps cleanse the colon, making it easier for you to absorb nutrients.

3. Helps in healthy weight loss

When you drink water in the morning on an empty stomach, your body will flush out all the toxins and it will help improve your digestive system. You will feel less hungry and your cravings will decrease. This will help prevent weight gain due to overeating.

4. Relieves heartburn and indigestion

Indigestion is caused by increased acid in the stomach. You get heartburn when acid refluxes into the esophagus. When you drink water on an empty stomach, this acid is pushed down and diluted, and this disorder is resolved.

Additionally, this provides a great start to the stomach in preparation for the upcoming breakfast.

5. Improve skin

Dehydration causes premature wrinkles and deep pores on the skin. In one study, it was found that drinking 500ml of water on an empty stomach increased blood circulation in the skin and brightened the skin.

Additionally, drinking plenty of water throughout the day means your body is releasing toxins, which will help your skin glow.

6. Helps hair become smooth, shiny and healthy

Dehydration can have a serious impact on hair growth. Drinking plenty of water nourishes your hair from the inside out.

Water makes up nearly a quarter of the weight of a strand of hair. Not getting enough water can make hair brittle and thin, but drinking water on an empty stomach can improve hair quality.

7. Prevent kidney stones and bladder infections

Drinking water right after waking up plays an important role in preventing kidney stones and bladder infections.

It is a fact that drinking water on an empty stomach dilutes the acid thus preventing the formation of kidney stones. The more water you drink (to a healthy limit), the more you avoid bladder infections caused by toxins.

8. Boost the immune system

Drinking water on an empty stomach helps to flush and balance the lymphatic system, which in turn boosts the immune system. A healthy immune system will keep you safe from many diseases and prevent you from falling sick often.

Drinking water right after waking up is a simple way to help you stay healthy without spending money.
