WATER THERAPY: DRINKING WATER IN AN EMPTY STOMACH, BENEFITS, DOSAGE AND SIDE EFFECTS

One easy way of ensuring sound health is by drinking enough [sufficient] water in empty stomach first thing in the morning. Not only does it clear your stomach, it goes a long way in reducing the risk of a number of diseases.

BENEFITS

1. BETTER DIGESTIVE SYSTEM: Firstly, it purifies the colon and improves the stomach's chances to absorb nutrients properly. A better digestive system automatically takes care of a lot other things.

2. DEALS WITH HEADACHE: The human brain is made up of about 85% water. So if there is the absence of enough water in the brain, it can lead to serious headaches. You can drink water in the morning to stop these aches.

3. IT REHYDRATES YOUR BODY: When you wake up after a sleep marathon, your body will be dehydrated. No matter the amount of water you drink that previous day, your body will still lack water in the morning.

4. EASE MENSTRUAL PAIN: Every month, women suffer from cramps which can sometimes be unbearable. Drinking water helps to reduce the water retention in the vagina which reduces cramps thus easing the pain.

5. REDUCE ARTHRITIS: Your joints are filled with fluid that increase or decrease depending on your water intake. This fluid also reduces due to tough activities and ageing. Drinking water in the morning helps your body to restore fluid so that your joints can move freely.

6. BOOST YOUR KIDNEY HEALTH: A kidney stone is a hard, crystalline mineral material formed within the kidney or urinary tract. Kidney stones are a common cause of blood in the urine and often severe pain in the abdomen. You can tackle kidney stone by downing lots of water, especially in the morning.

7. IT'S ABSOLUTELY REFRESHING: Gulping water after you wake up in the morning is absolutely refreshing and makes you feel good. It is also one of the secrets behind a glowing skin, as water removes toxins from the blood.

8. GET RID OF TOXINS: Water can assist in flushing toxins (a toxin is anything that damages the body) out of your body. This is because while you are asleep your body cleans itself, restores lost energy and balances hormones. After the cleanup, toxins and other waste materials will be released and wait to be flushed out. So to clear these toxins, you should drink water in the morning.

Drinking water also improves the creation of new blood cells, and helps you in losing weight.

SIDE EFFECTS
Interestingly, this water therapy has no side effects and it boosts your metabolism greatly.

DOSAGE
About four glasses (1ltr) of water on an average every morning would be great. If it feels too much in the beginning, you can start off slowly and then gradually increase the intake.
Also, make sure not to eat anything for a while after you drink water in the morning.

MY TESTIMONY
Here in Africa, the major sickness we battle with is malaria due to the population of mosquitoes.

Malaria has been one of my greatest challenges since childhood. Others treat malaria once in 3 or 6 months, while I treat mine every month. This continued till 2017 when I came across the importance of this water therapy. Now I can go 3-4 months without taking malaria drugs.
The therapy keeps my system strong. Indigestion, constipation and the rest became a thing of the past.
So, I urge us all to adopt this therapy for a healthy living.
Good morning steemians.
