In the morning, many people often brush their teeth as soon as they wake up to keep their teeth clean. However, experts recommend that you should drink water before brushing your teeth because this simple habit not only helps clean but also brings many benefits to overall health, according to Onlymyhealth.
Detoxifying toxins overnight
According to Dr. Bhumesh Tyagi, a medical consultant at Shardacare Health City (India), when you sleep, your body undergoes detoxification and regeneration. During this time, your mouth contains a lot of bacteria and toxins. Drinking water right after waking up helps stimulate kidney and liver activity, while purifying the body from within before you start other activities during the day.
Boosts metabolism
Dr. Bhumesh Tyagi says that drinking a glass of water in the morning can increase your metabolic rate by up to 30%. Water helps promote digestion, burn calories effectively and supports weight management.
Drinking water before eating or following hygiene habits helps the body function at optimal efficiency.
Protecting the oral microbiome
Mice is not only a place to store harmful bacteria, but also has beneficial bacteria that help protect teeth and gums.
Brushing your teeth as soon as you wake up can remove this layer of bacteria. Drinking water first will dilute harmful bacteria and keep the microbiome in balance, thereby preventing pH imbalance in the mouth, better protecting oral health.
stimulate a smooth digestive system
Drinking water in the morning helps stimulate the digestive system to work gently, not causing shock like when drinking coffee or eating immediately. This helps the intestines function more smoothly, prevents constipation and improves the absorption of nutrients from food.
Improve health and skin
In the morning, the body is often dehydrated after a long night, making you feel tired and have dull skin. Drinking water as soon as you wake up helps replace lost moisture, increases skin elasticity and radiance, while helping the spirit to be more alert and refreshing during the day.
Note
Small changes to your morning routine such as drinking water before brushing can bring many great benefits to digestive health, metabolism, teeth and skin. You can try drinking one to two glasses of water at room temperature when you wake up, wait about 10-15 minutes before brushing your teeth to feel the positive difference in your body.
