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 waterand 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 is 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,
Water Softeners Can Be Used for Drinking Water
Softeners replace the calcium and magnesium contents in hard water by sodium. Sodium does not accumulate in pipes and also does not react to soap. This means hard water effects are eliminated. The principle of the softener system is easy to understand. Hard water is allowed to enter the water softener. It contains a layer of plastic beads and in some instances, the material used is called Zeolite. The layer of materials inside the water softener is soaked with sodium ions. Sodium is exchanged with the contents of the hard water, calcium, and magnesium. When water comes out of the softener, the water is said to be of the soft water type. Here are some of the best rated best descalers that you must check to have healthy water.
Although some people are worried about the extra Sodium that they will be taking in by using a water softener, and indeed it can raise your blood pressure if you are struggling with that, for most people a water softener can make the water taste better.
Water softener prices can vary so it’s sensible to shop around in order to get the best deal. Once you have managed to narrow down your search you will need to consider running costs, the size of your tank, efficiency ratings and whether an extended warranty is included in the price.
If you do live in a hard water area you probably spend a fortune on bottled water every week. Any section online about the best water softener reviews will explain that softened water tastes so much better than hard water.
Both the taste and the smell of your domestic water will improve dramatically. By not buying bottled water you will be doing your bit for the environment as well.
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, but you need to drink quality water.
- 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.
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.

Just start today please and let us eradicate illness in our world. from our chemistry we learnt that water is a universal solvent, which means that it has the ability to disolve all thlings, with time early morning water disolves all the stones in the body and all diseases.
God is so rich and so loving, the most valuable and indispensible things God gave to mankind are Water, Oxygen and sun ligth, pls make good use of these abundance, your life depends on them.
Drink just plain water, warm is probably best in a.m. as there is no thermal shock to organ tissues. As for vitamin fortified water, just remember that we should be getting our vitamins and minerals from the foods we eat. Drink 1/2 ounce of water per pound of body per day, and even more in summer time and when doing strenuous work .
I am very sure that droking water first thing in the morning will make me getting helthier everyday . I prefer to drink warm water which is more suitable for our stomach . drinking cold water will give a “shock” to our body naturally warm system …..(bearing in mind that our body tenperature is warm )
Mr Bala wrote in the above that drinking water first thing in the morning WITHOUT BRUSHING TEETH .kindly advise me the logic behind this .
i have been doing this to prevent from further acne, i must say it has helped a lot, as well as in clearing up my skin.. Although i am on anti biotics for acne too but i guess waters doing its job too..
I am glad but even still i am confused that 1.5ltr of water evryday, isnt is too much to start with.
I’ve never heard of drinking that much water first thing in the morning but I’ll do it. I drink lots of water throughout the day, but not that much first thing in the morning. I’m curious what the results will be.
Great post. I had been doing this before I read about it but not as a conscious plan. I see now why I feel so great in the a.m after my morning water. I haven’t tried drinking 4-6 but I do drink about 2 glasses in the morning and feel great. Never thought that was the reason why, i was just thirsty lol.
I am doing this from more than 10 years and now it is more like a habbit and I feel great. But here is my issue…
I keep driniking water (around 2-3 lt)…until I feel like goto restroom. Sometime due to office meetings or other work in the morning, it passes even 11 AM before I am done with all this. Most of days I finished my water in the first two hours after I wake up…
My question is – am I harming my body by doing this (not eating anything till 11 AM)?
I have been doing this drinking of water first thing in the morning 1.5 l + little yoga + little changes in meals to have sufficient food mainly vegitables so that no over feeding for more than last 16 years = no headaches,no fever,no pains any other pains and working without ant medical leave . No vists to doctors execept for check ups. Also, keep my mind happy by trying to see always positive.I think these simple things can be followed every body to make their lives enjoyable.
this practice was meant to be done with plain good old water…..No smart water etc….research this further
I use an iPhone app called “Water Your Body” and it recommends this exactly.
Its best practice to drink water the first thing in morning. It flushes your whole stomach and makes you ready for the whole day to go. Ive pratciced that for 6 months now now and i feel im like a well toned athlete.
Plan Water is the best let the stomach have a good moment with fresh water instead of adding falvour, honey or something else for the tongue to taste. the main thing to drink water is to clear everything for yesterdays consumption going to toilet frequently.
If you think about it, our bodies are made up mostly of water anyway, around 60% or more. Men have more and women less. Think of you’re body as a grape when you go to bed. When you wake up, you’re body is very prune like, and is severely dehydrated. What I do is drink lots of water before bed, throughout the night when I wake up(waterbottle beside my bed) and then around 500ml of water with a bit of extra virgin olive oil immediately upon waking up. It’s done wonders for boosted energy levels. The olive oil is just for that extra health benefit.

Since i have start drinking water from bed in the morning, i start feel comfortable, warm up, smile face and difficult in inhale problem has gone. i am happy and thanks God that i look and experiencing healthy than before. If you believe everything is possible.. God is wonderful and Loving us all.
I have been doing this as well for a while. I have mentioned before that this was a normal morning habit of mine to drink lots of water and after I stopped I did not notice any difference but now that I am again drinking a lot of water early in the morning I feel fantastic once I sit down in the office.
Everyone should try this for a week for no other reason then to test out the difference.
I have been drinking 6 glasses of water first thing in the morning for the past two weeks, I must say I have experience a huge increase in ernegy levels, I feel more healthier, my mind is very sharp, my level of concentration has increased, Also I experiences a huge reduction in hunger pangs during the day, my stomach works more regularly than before……I am hoping that I will experience loss in the process…..
This is a great post. We do need to rehydrate in the morning, after all we haven’t had anything to drink in hours. I’m not sure about 4 glass recommendation, or how big these glasses are. I love vitaminwater’s essential flavor in the morning, it’s a fresh orange flavor. Many people just don’t like to drink plain water, they don’t like the taste. vitaminwater is an excellent water choice that comes in a variety of flavors and provides 25% of 4 B vitamins and a bottle of the essential flavor also provides 250% of the daily value of vitamin C which is a healthy way to start the day. Calorie free smartwater is made by the same company and tastes great because it is vapor-distilled. smartwater even has added electrolytes that give that added boost. We all know the benefits of drinking water as related to loss and energy level, we just need to look at water choices and start drinking!
