While I'm at it, a glass of water... Drinking it 'like this' will even help you lose weight.

Water is beneficial to your health in many ways. Drinking adequate water promotes healthy blood circulation and allows your organs to function properly. It also aids in weight loss. Let's learn how to drink water to help you lose weight.

 

Drinking water improves metabolism. It helps eliminate waste from the body, and even burns calories simply by digesting the water itself. The feeling of fullness after drinking water also helps control appetite. For this reason, drinking one or two glasses of water 30 to 15 minutes before a meal will fill your stomach with water and relieve hunger to some extent.

 

This naturally reduces food intake and reduces calorie intake. According to a study conducted by Queen's University in Canada on obese adults, After drinking about 500ml of water before meals for 12 weeks, participants lost 2kg. Drinking water before meals reduced their intake by an average of 40 to 200 calories per meal.

However, there's no need to drink water between meals. This can actually strain your digestive system. Diluting the digestive juices secreted by the stomach with water can weaken digestive function in the long term.

Regularly sipping water can also reduce cravings for stimulating flavors. A research team at the University of Illinois found that drinking one to three more glasses of water a day reduced daily sodium intake by 78 to 235 grams, sugar intake by 5 to 18 grams, and saturated fat intake by 7 to 21 grams.

 

Avoid drinking coffee, green tea, and other beverages instead of water. These contain diuretic ingredients like caffeine, which can actually cause water loss. If you do drink coffee or green tea, be sure to drink more water to compensate.
