Supplement fluids and electrolytes
During sleep, the body suffers from mild dehydration, so when waking up, it is often drowsy, reduced thinking ability, reduced ability to perform physical activities. Drinking water immediately after waking up can help feel more alert throughout the day and overcome the above effects.
Increase metabolic rate
Drinking water on an empty stomach can help speed up metabolism. This effect is called heat generation, and it helps the body burn more calories during digestion and water absorption. Drinking water in the morning can help the body burn more calories throughout the day.
Support detoxification and digestion
Water is especially important for the digestive process because it helps food and waste move through the intestines. Water also helps the kidneys function better by removing toxins accumulated during sleep. Drinking enough water also helps the kidneys function properly, helping the body eliminate harmful substances.
Controlling mood and helping the brain work better
After a night's sleep, the brain loses water, which can make the body feel tired and difficult to think effectively. Drinking water immediately after waking up helps the body replenish water and helps the brain function better.
Prevent headaches and fatigue
Getting plenty of water in the morning helps balance the body's fluids and prevents symptoms of fatigue and headaches – which can occur when the body is dehydrated; and provides the energy needed to function throughout the day.
Suggested ways to drink water effectively in the morning:
1-2 cups (250-500 ml) of water immediately after waking up to replenish the lost water.
Do not use sugary or caffeinated drinks in the morning because they can make you thinner.
Drink water with a temperature similar to the room's temperature or warmer. Warm water is more pleasant for the stomach and helps digestion better. If you exercise a lot, you should drink more water after exercise to keep your body hydrated.
