best time to drink water?

Water plays an important role in our lives, accounting for between 60-70% of our total body mass. 

A healthy adult on the average will lose more than 2.5 liters of water from the body each day, meaning we need to drink six to eight glasses of water per day to stay healthy. There are a number of things to consider in order to get the maximum benefit from this most basic of drinks.

. Drink warm water. Cold water affects the functioning of our intestines and digestive system while the body can absorb warm water more easily and aid digestion.

. Drink on an empty stomach. This is the best way to consume water as it can be absorbed directly.

. Drink regularly. It does not help much if you just take a sip of water now and then when you feel thirsty.

when is the best time to drink?

. In the morning. Before doing anything else, drinking one to two glasses of water just after you wake up can help stimulate peristalsis, lower blood concentration and boost blood circulation.

. Before a meal. Drink a glass of water 30 minutes before meal can help preparing the digestive system to better absorb nutrients.

. After a meal. It is NOT advisable to drink lots of water during or within half an hour after a meal because it can affect digestion.

. In the afternoon. About 2:00 -3:00 o'clock in the afternoon, drink 2 cups of water to refresh the body and the mind

. One hour before sleep. The body consumes water while we are asleep, making us feel thirsty and dehydrated in the morning. Drink some water an hour before you sleep can help replenish any water loss during the night.

Water is so important to our bodies that we have to pay attention not just to the quantity of water we drink but also the quality. Drinking enough clean and fresh water not only improves your overall health and well-being, it may also prevent you from many ailments and sicknesses.
