What if the secret to waking up full of energy was hidden in a simple glass of water? Drinking water on an empty stomach, as soon as you wake up, is a wellness ritual that has been adopted for centuries in several cultures. While not a miracle solution, this daily habit can support your vitality, stimulate digestion, and promote concentration. Here’s a closer look at an easy… but effective gesture!
Why drinking water on an empty stomach is beneficial
During the night, our bodies remain active: they digest, repair, and cleanse. The result when we wake up? Mild dehydration. And even before coffee, the best thing to do is to give your body a good glass of water.
Drinking water on an empty stomach allows:
- To gently rehydrate after several hours without liquid intake.
- To slightly boost metabolism, which helps you feel more alert.
- To support concentration and mental clarity.
- To prepare the digestive system to receive breakfast.
- To help the kidneys, by diluting concentrated morning urine and reducing the risk of minor problems such as stones.
What water should I drink in the morning? Warm water!
The best option remains room temperature or slightly lukewarm water. Why? Because it’s better tolerated by the stomach while it’s still at rest. Therefore, avoid ice-cold water upon waking.
