Start Your Day With a Glass of Warm Water

According to Ayurveda and ancient Chinese medicine drinking water is beneficial. One of the basic principles of Ayurveda is to consume a cup of warm water alongside your meals. In Japan, people have been following the ritual of “Water Cure”, which is to drink 4 glasses of every morning right after waking up, even before brushing your teeth and it should not be cold. Moving on to the quantity of water, it depends on the factors of age, activity levels, weather, and diet. In morning, 4 glasses of warm water on an empty stomach is the key to a healthy day. In the beginning, you can have 1 glass, then eventually make it 4.

Warm water and their health benefits:

Drinking warm water raises your body’s temperature and helps release toxins. This detoxification, is great for glowing skin and unclogged pores.

Stops Constipation: This is one of the most common issues faced by people across the world. Experts suggest that warm water is great for ‘internal’ cleansing and regulates bowel movement, which is important to avoid bloating, abdominal pain and discomfort and prevents constipation.

Gives a relief from Congestion:Though many people go by avoiding cold water when it comes to curing a sore throat. But, drinking water is not only beneficial, but also helps clear out congestion and gives a soothing relief to an aching throat. Drinking warm water also prevents phlegm accumulation too.

Refreshes and Hydrates the Body. After not drinking water for 8 hours, our entire body is on the verge toward dehydration. By drinking warm water first thing after waking up, you replenish this hydration and nourish each little cell in the body.

Flushes out stagnant toxins. Drinking warm water first thing in the morning will spark the energy of all the vital organs, including the liver and the kidneys, our keys to detoxification. By activating these organs right after awakening, you help to flush the system from any toxins that have become stagnant throughout the night.

Menstrual cramps can be quite painful for some. A warm water bottle pressed against your belly may be your favourite way to deal with period pain, but did you know that drinking warm water can help too? Studies suggest that drinking warm water increases blood circulation, which works as a pain reliving mechanism.
