Many people are used to waking up with a cup of coffee, but actually waking up with a cup of water is a better way to wake up than coffee. In addition to water replenishment, there are some surprising benefits to drinking water on an empty stomach in the morning.
Improve Your Metabolism
Studies have shown that drinking water on an empty stomach can help increase metabolic rate up by 30%. This means that the rate at which calories are burned increases by nearly one third. You know what that means right?—Quicker weight loss!
If your metabolic rate is high, then you will be able to digest food faster and maintain a slim figure despite eating those extra calories. However, this doesn’t warrant you to bite down on all that junk food. Furthermore, you will need to incorporate around four litres of water into your daily routine for best results.
Clear Your Bowels
Constipation is one of the most irritating conditions that also result in retention of toxins inside the body. But do you know that one of the other benefits of drinking water is that it helps to clear out your bowels? The colon, which is in part responsible for bowel movements, requires water to function properly. So just gulp down a glass of water and sit on your toilet for a clean colon.
Balance Your Nervous System
Drinking water on an empty stomach especially if it’s warm, can improve the health of your nervous system. In the early morning, the stomach is the most receptive. At this moment, if you indulge in coffee, which is a central nervous system stimulant, your nervous system will be affected. On the other hand, if you just have a glass of warm water, it can properly hydrate your nervous system, which will help it function properly.
Improve Your Appetite
In the early morning, with your stomach totally empty, it is natural that you will feel hungry. So another benefit of drinking water is preparing you to have the most important meal of the day—breakfast. Besides this, we all know that having a healthy appetite is good for overall health.
