After a night's sleep of 6 to 8 hours, the body is not replenished with water, while metabolic activities and excretion through sweat, breathing, and urine continue. Therefore, when waking up, the body is often in a state of mild lack of water.
First of all, water is an essential element that helps the kidneys filter the blood and eliminate toxins from the body. When there is a lack of water, the concentration of waste products in the blood and urine increases, making the kidneys work harder.
Drinking water right after waking up helps dilute this concentration, reducing the pressure of blood filtration for the kidneys, while increasing urine flow to eliminate toxins accumulated overnight. Thanks to that, the risk of kidney stone formation and urinary tract inflammation is also significantly reduced.
Second, drinking water in the morning helps balance fluids and stabilize blood pressure. Water is directly involved in blood circulation, supporting the transport of oxygen and nutrients to the kidneys. When blood circulates well, kidney cells receive enough energy to carry out the function of filtering and regulating water and salt in the body. This is a basic factor that helps maintain long-term kidney health.
The habit of drinking warm water as soon as you wake up every morning also stimulates the digestive system, purifies the liver and improves the skin, indirectly contributing to reducing the metabolic burden on the kidneys.
However, it is important to note that you should not drink water too quickly or too cold as soon as you wake up, because it can cause vasoconstriction and affect the stomach. The ideal amount of water is about 200 - 300ml of warm water, drink slowly to make the body absorb best.
Drinking water right after waking up is not only a simple act but also a scientific habit that helps protect and enhance kidney function, while bringing many benefits to the whole body.
This is a small secret that should be maintained daily to keep the body healthy and balanced.
