Here Are The Benefits of Drinking Water on an Empty Stomach Upon Waking Up

Have you ever met someone who claims the ubiquitous water is a miracle worker?

They would swear that their flawless skin, shiny hair and thin waist were all because they drink lots of water.

And here you are, investing in cleansers, moisturizers, toners—basically the whole shebang.

You don’t know betrayal till your skin decided to break out on the day of your graduation despite pampering it with sheet masks and coffee scrubs.

But after some “FBI” work, I came across a deluge of findings (get it, deluge and water…nvm) where drinking water, especially in the morning, has its perks.

So before you continue to read, go get yourself a glass of water.

1) Increase metabolism

Here is a cheap and effective way, if you’re planning to lose a couple of kilos.

By drinking this calorie-free drink in the morning, you’re kickstarting your metabolism in the right direction, burning more calories throughout the day.

2) Helps you shit

So if you have trouble pooping, drink a glass of water in the morning as it helps to clear your digestive tract and it goes without saying that water helps to prevent constipation.

So ignite your digestive system in the morning the right way!

3) Remove toxins

What does water do, apart from keeping you alive and hydrated?

It helps you pee (and poop), which is a form of detoxification.

Water helps to get rid of all the impurities from your body, and that doesn’t include your morbid personality.

4) Improve your immune system

If you’re feeling under the weather, maybe you should start drinking more water. It helps to keep your immunity system in tip-top condition.

The Japanese, known for their long lives, actually drink 160ml of water four times immediately after waking up and they will wait for 45 minutes before they have their breakfast.

This water treatment is a proven method for treating body disorders, menstrual disorders and eye-related illnesses.

5) Clear skin

Like I mentioned at the beginning of the article, water does (to a certain extent) help give you a clearer skin.

The detoxification helps to remove the toxins and when your body is dehydrated, there will be a healthy flow of blood to your skin—say goodbye to wrinkles!

Now you know what do, skip that hot cuppa in the morning and get some H20 in your system!
