I have written quite a few times about the importance of drinking water but last week I restarted a strategy that I had followed for a long time and then gave up.
Benefits of Drinking water first thing in the morning.
The idea is to get up and immediately drink four glasses of water and nothing else. Wait at least 45 minutes before having any coffee or tea or breakfast.
Why would you want to do this? Well I have always known the benefits of drinking water and used to do this drinking water before getting on the bike to ride to work, actually I did it for a couple of years and had a lot of energy in the morning. I never knew if the energy was from drinking the water or from the bike ride itself.
There are several reasons why you would want to drink a lot of water first thing in the morning
- Drinking water in the morning will give you energy – The water you drink first think will kick up your metabolism right away and the coldness seems to be a bit invigorating.
- Drinking water in the morning will start your rehydration – We lose our hydration at night from breathing out moist air and since we take nothing in and are losing water to digestion we really do get dehydrated.
- Drinking water in the morning will help you lose weight – When you drink water in the morning you will find that you have less appetite since you already have the water in your stomach fooling your brain into thinking that you are not hungry.
There seems to be a very popular notion that drinking water or anything in the morning will kickstart your metabolism, this is a benefits of drinking water that I really agree with and I have to agree that over the last week I have had a lot more energy and a much better level of concentration to get more done in the early morning.
Try it and see if it works. There are many more benefits of drinking water that I have not mentioned that you will find very quickly when you go just a few days of drinking water in the morning. Post your comments about what you think firsthand of these benefits of drinking water in the morning idea.

well drinking water is good for the mind and soul
I am drinking 1 litre of plain water more than a 1 year in the morning at 5.00 o’ Clock. 1 litre of water in rest of the day. I used to get acid reflux and severe headaches. Is it because, I used to consume 4-5 glass of coffee in a day. After this water therapy (!), Now I am free from acid re flux and head aches. In websites, I saw, 2 glasses of lemon water is good for health. I am also confused to drink lemon water or plain water. Can I drink Plain water first and after 1 hour can I take 200 ml of Lemon water? Will it benefit my health. Awaiting your reply.
Been on the water therapy for 6 weeks now. I have hypertension and currently taking two kinds to ease out my blood pressure everyday. After going through the water therapy, I rarely take my blood pressure any longer since it went back to normal as it was used to be back in the old days. Back pain is gone is as well and it felt I have more energy than before.
Will continue to do it and see how it goes but the results are very promising and convincing.
Don’t do it if you have gastritis or other stomach problems. You do this and either you will get a stomach ulcer or if you already have the ulcer it will become bigger. People with sensible stomach shouldn’t drink water with their stomach empty because acidity will increase. That’s why stomach problems are a pain in the ass. They risk dying from malnutrition or simply dehydrate because they need to intake water with food in their stomachs to prevent the increase in acidity. Not something you wanna have, but hey, if you eat healthy you shouldn’t get stomach problems in the first place, unless its genetic.
i will try it starting tomarrow…not really a water drinker but will start on it tomarrow…….

Today i Have started drinking 1 litre water right after waking up…
Have to wait and see whether it will reduce my weight and makes me happy..
Wow. It really works.
This year, i started drinking a lot of water and found I was really energized, happy-chappy etc. But I did not amount the energy and euphoria to drinking water. I stopped drinking water out of laziness (and too-frequent bathroom trips). My energy went down, concentration, etc and I still did not link the two. But being back on water, I noticed the energy and happy-chappiness coming back.
I recommend that everyone try it
Omg, i can’t believe that the tips on here helped me alot this morning, last night i had a bottle of water before i went to bed and i actually woke up round 5 to urinate and couldn’t go back to sleep, i guess God was talking to me that everything was going to be alright. Finally fell asleep round 7 i guess and woke up at 10:30 and my stomach felt like it was doing cartwheels i was in the middle of drinking my four glasses of water by the second glass my stomach was egared to get started went to the bathroom and by that time i was having my first bowel movement in days. Thank You Lord, never lost Faith in you. But, i think for starters four glasses is over the extreme, i think two is good to get the ball rolling, cause for the first time in my life i threw up water. (I know tmi but it can happen ) so again thank you very much!
i forgot who said that they have an irregular heart beat, i do too. i had heart surgery when i was born 24 years ago this June, thank you God everyday that I am on this beautiful earth, also i had a second surgery almost at the age of two. as you can see, im still here, and i give all the credits to the man up stairs. anyway, i only drink water, and love it. but for almost a week now i have been suffering with consiptation, so four glasses first thing in the morning, and i read somewhere else a glass before bed, im going to try both tonight and pray to my heavenly father that this will indeed help me cause i dont want to place laxatives in my body ever again.
I would like to try this… my tummy always aching because of stress, anxiety etc,,, Hopefully this kind of treatment can help me to live better… ^_^
i have been a soda drinker and not much of a water drinker. I know that water is good for health reasons. This morning i drink a standard size glass like a 1/2 hour before breakfast. ate breakfast and could not finish the whole thing. then between snack and lunch i drink a whole bottle of water. i agree with the energy and making you feel better. I am going to try this and see if it works for me. Thanks for the post. Thank god for water.
Thanks-a-mundo for the article.Much thanks again. Keep writing.

You say the drinking of 4 glasses of water really helped you hearing, is this true, cause i have been to so many doctors but they cant seem to help. Would appreciate a reply
I am constantly sleep deprived and last night after a late night (which was on top of at least a week of 4-6 hrs tops a night of sleep and some only 3.5. Anyway I read that drinking a lot of water helped with that so did it before bed and had it by the bed and had maybe 500 ml in the morning
then realized tonight that I had much more energy today than Id expect to for the amount of sleep debt I am in
so worth trying for anyone who isnt getting enough sleep…
drinking water more than 2 glass will affect the kidney. please let me know, how it is possible?
To people that have weaker kidney or body, the best is to drink one glass of water slowly & start your day wonderfully. 4 glasses of water are really kind of exaggerating, but its up to your own body. You know & understand your own body well, & you should be able to know weather you’re able to take down this amount of water. Rest assure, it would not harm our body drinking 4 glasses of water.
if you do not drink pure water it will always affect your kidney . because it has impurities in it . and these impurities will remain in the kidney that is harmful…
Water is life!! Planning to start drinking….
water really works even it helps to reduce the weight as well as for the glowing of skin. it reduces the acne also. Thanks to Allah Talha who made the water for th human being.
Yes brother, alhamdullilah. I have also began to drink water first thing in the morning and don’t feel bloated and have great bowel movements. Sorry I mix religion and something dirty. However, with respect to our creator I did it for educational purposes.
God bless you all and may God bless our water.

I drink 1 liter plain water as soon i get up from my bed. Iam doing this for past 10 years. I feel very energy. My advise is , Drink 1 liter water in morning, Take breakfast after 45 min & dont drink anything for 2 hours. Take 1 liter again b4 lunch, Then again 1 liter in the Evening. Never drink water with meal, But u can take warm water b4 u sleep in night. Try this. Its very good for Health. Thank You- Kannan, Erode Brindhavan Hotels
Water that to be taken in the morning should be kept in copper vessel during last night. By doing this, impurities of water get removed. At least, one litre water should be taken after getting up from bed. After taking water, person should go to washroom to get fresh. If this doesn’t occur within 10-15 days, then he should avoid to take water early in the morning.
swati gupta ji,
can you tell be how you came for that opinion. ANY SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND
PLEASE LET ME KNOW
THANK YOU

I started this morning after reading about it yesterday in facebook. I feel full the whole day and I am usually constipated and I am surprised that I had a bowel movement today without drinking prune juice. I think I am gonna be on this for the longest time.
One of the biggest benefits I noticed of drinking water 1ST thing in the morning was it’s cleansing benefit I had already had my early morning bowel movement but after drinking about 24-32ozs of water, I found myself back in the bathroom having another bowel movement. Many years ago when I worked in a nursing home, I remember vividly the trouble the resident had with their bowels. Just think all that could have been relieved with bowls of Jello first thing in the morning or if they could tolerate just drinking pitchers of water. I surmise that with the water in the bowel, the brain sends a message that the bowel is full and send a message to the bowel to eliminate. You can understand that this is very, very important.
I drink water if I feel blue, a lot of it at a go, and it really does start to
cheer me up immediately!
i felt very happy by seeing this.
i wanna know any authentic research done in this topic
