Each of us has our morning rituals. Some people jump out of bed as soon as they wake up and are immediately ready both physically and mentally to get to work. Others need half a day before they start to get going and are able to do anything. However you start your day, the first thing you do is get your metabolism and digestion moving. For that it is enough to drink a glass of warm water about 15 minutes before breakfast. Some may drink it plain; it is better with the addition of lemon juice.
What drinking it affects
First of all it kickstarts digestion and metabolism. If you have the time and wait 15 minutes before breakfast, that’s absolutely ideal. Here are 6 things that drinking warm water affects.
Detoxifies the body
Our unhealthy lifestyle leads to the accumulation of toxic substances in the body. We eat a lot of animal proteins and fats, which create many toxic residues for the body. When we sleep, the body rests, and everything accumulates in the body overnight. Therefore drinking a glass of warm water helps flush these harmful substances out of the body. Do not drink cold water.
Kicks the metabolism into gear
Yes, that’s true. Warm water washes away food residues from the body directly. This stimulates our digestive tract, and breakfast and other meals during the day become easier for us to digest.
Relieves pain
Drinking a glass of warm water helps relax the muscles, and for women during menstruation it can relieve cramps and tightened abdominal muscles. Those who have digestive problems can also have their abdominal pain alleviated.
Helps with weight loss
Warm water speeds up the metabolism, warms the body, and thus helps burn calories faster. This can help us lose weight. If we add light exercise and include healthy, beneficial foods for the body, we further strengthen the effect. Warm water also supports the function of the kidneys and other excretory organs.
Improves blood circulation
By flushing waste and toxic substances from the body, it also facilitates easier flow of blood and lymph, because these substances do not weaken the heart and the blood is cleaner.
Slows the aging process
All toxic substances speed up our aging, so if we remove them from the body we can slow the whole process. Your skin will look younger, and you will feel the same. Those who still started the day with morning coffee or tea on an empty stomach made a big mistake. Both drinks are acidic and can cause digestive problems — from heartburn to stomach ulcers. It is best to drink your morning coffee after a meal. And have it after drinking a glass of warm water. It costs nothing to try.
