Benefit Of Drinking Water In The Morning by yinkacruxzy: 8:36pm On Jan 03, 2016 |
While you sleep, your body is
filtering out all the toxins you’ve
accumulated throughout the day.
The little bit of water that’s left in
your digestive tract by the time you
get to bed isn’t enough to clear
away all this waste. Drinking water
as soon as you wake up will give
your kidneys more to work with to
help them eliminate all the toxins
that are clogging your system.
Why Drink More Water
Drinking water is important for
mental clarity and alertness. In fact,
dehydration is a risk factor for
delirium and dementia in the
elderly and in the very ill (1). It’s
also important for nearly every
bodily function. In fact, in as little
as 3-4 days, dehydration can
become deadly.
“I have sort of a 100-hour rule,” says
Claude Piantadosi of Duke University
in North Carolina. “Depending on
the temperature you are exposed to,
you can go 100 hours without
drinking at an average temperature
outdoors. If it’s cooler, you can go a
little longer. If you are exposed to
direct sunlight, it’s less,” he added.

“Dehydration kills by bringing blood
pressure down to fatal levels. The
more energy you expend the more
likely you are to lose water,” says
Randall Packer, an expert from
George Washington University. “You
lose a little bit of water every time
you exhale. You lose water when you
sweat. You do make a little water
when you metabolize food… but the
balance is such that you always
need some sort of water intake.” (2).
What Is Morning
Dehydration?
Dehydration occurs when you use or
lose more fluid than you take in, and
your body doesn’t have enough
water and other fluids to carry out
its normal functions. If you don’t
replace lost fluids, you will get
dehydrated. via MayoClinic
Symptoms of dehydration include
(3):
Increased thirst
• Dry mouth and swollen tongue
• Weakness
• Dizziness
• Palpitations (feeling that the heart
is jumping or pounding)
• Confusion
• Sluggishness fainting
• Fainting
• Inability to sweat
• Decreased urine output
Waking up in the morning and
having bright yellow urine is a sign
that your body needs more water.
Actually, examining your urine
throughout the day is an easy water
to know whether or not you’re
getting enough water (4).
A recent study found that not
drinking enough water can actually
impair driving as much as drinking
alcohol can (5). This shows just how
important water is for your state of
mind and cognitive function. You
wouldn’t start your day drunk, so
why would you start dehydrated?
How To Drink Water In The
Morning
It’s quite an easy habit to pick up,
just leave a glass or cup on your
bedside table and grab it as you
leave your bedroom. It’ll be easy to
remember to drink water if you’re
walking around with an empty glass.
Here’s what experts are
recommending:
1. As soon as you wake up, drink 4
x 160 ml of water.
2. Give your body 45 minutes to
process the water before having your
first meal.
3. Always have a glass of water
before eating a meal.
If you have trouble drinking this
much water first thing in the
morning, just start with one glass
and slowly increase the amount of
water you drink every day. Aim for
7-9 glasses of water daily, taking in a
little more if you exercise or live in a
warm region.
Just remember that the steps
mentioned above are just
guidelines. Whenever you get thirsty
just drink a little water at a time
until you no longer feel the need to
drink. Like anything else, it’s more
about listening to your body than
following strict rules. |
