According to the World Health Organization, adequate water intake is not only a matter of quantity but also closely related to the time of water intake during the day.
One of the golden times to drink water is right after waking up in the morning. After 78 hours of sleep, the body loses water through breathing and sweating, causing blood to thicken and the kidneys to work harder to filter toxins. According to research, drinking 250500 ml of filtered water after waking up helps awaken the excretion system, promote circulation and reduce the risk of toxic accumulation in the kidney canal.
In addition, drinking water 30 minutes before meals is also recommended because it helps stimulate digestion and supports the kidneys in excreting sodium and Ureas through urine. However, avoid drinking too much right after a meal to avoid thinning the taste buds, affecting digestion.
In particular, drinking water 12 hours before bed in moderation (100150 ml) can help maintain circulation and filter blood gently overnight. However, experts recommend not drinking too much water close to bedtime, to avoid overnight urination that disrupts sleep, affects hormones and the function of the kidneys' blood filtration.
Finally, increase water intake during exercise, hot weather, or signs of dehydration such as dark urine. The World Health Organization recommends splitting the amount of water you drink each day, instead of drinking it in large amounts at one time.
Drinking water at the right time - especially in the morning, before meals is an important factor in maintaining long-term kidney health and reducing the risk of urinary tract diseases.
