Best Time of the day to drink water




True saying "Water is not the source of life. It is life", "Water runs life". Just like car needs oil to work properly our body needs water so that it can function properly. One can stay without food but not without water.

Well we all know that we have to drink at least eight to nine glasses of water daily and we also know the benefits of drinking water. We always keep water bottle or water jug near us so that we keep on drinking water.

But do you know the optimal time to drink water? Do you know that drinking water at specific time intervals can help boost your overall health?

So let's see the best time of the day to drink water.

1. Drink water after getting up in the morning



 Always drink one or two glass of lukewarm water after getting up in the morning. Drinking water on an empty stomach helps to get rid of toxins from the body. It cleans, purifies and activates your internal body organs. It also energize your body.

2. Drink water before a bath

Drink one glass of lukewarm water before taking a bath as it will help to lower blood pressure levels.
It will also makes you feel fresh.

3. Drink water before and after workout


Always drink water before doing any exercise or hitting the gym as you may get dehydrated during workout.

Keeping yourself hydrated during workout is essential but avoid drinking too much. Excess water intake reduces sodium level of your body, resulting in fatigue.

After finishing workout drink lot of water to replenish lost body fluids. It also helps to maintain energy levels.

4. Drink water before meal


Before having meal, you should drink one glass of water at-least 30 minutes prior as it will help to improve digestion. It also prevent you from overeating.

5. Drink water during and after meal


Many people unknowingly drink water during and immediately after meal.

When you are eating, your body generates a natural juice that helps in digesting the food.

But if you drink water in between or directly after the meal, these natural juices gets mixed with water, due to which digestion process stops in between leaving the food as it is in your stomach. This left over food decays in your body leading to gas related problems.

So it is recommended to drink water 30 minutes after the meal.

Drink one or two sips of water during meal as it will helps you to eat food at slower speed. It also helps to digest food and enjoy your meal.

6. Drink water before hitting bed


You should drink a glass of water 30 minutes before going to bed. It will lower the risk of heart problems.

7. Don't drink water while standing

Don't drink water while you are standing as water goes with full force in your stomach leading to kidney problems, joint damage and arthritis.

8. Don't drink water too fast

We have a tendency of drinking water too fast when we are thirsty. It brings your nerves in a state of tension. So you should always drink water slowly sip by sip.


Bottom Line


Water is absorbed by your body when your stomach in not full.

Always maintain balance in water intake as too less water leads to dehydration and too much water leads to over-hydration.
