Is a glass of water a tonic? Drinking it this way can put a strain on your brain's blood vessels.

Drinking a glass of water immediately after waking up is known to be good for your health. While it's fine to do so, drinking cold water is not recommended. Trying to start the day lightly can actually be taxing on your body.

 

Drinking water immediately after waking up is beneficial in itself. Our bodies dehydrate while we sleep. Up to 1 liter of water can be lost through sweat and breathing during sleep. .

 

This thickening of the blood increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. Drinking water immediately after waking up can help prevent this by reducing blood viscosity. Drinking water on an empty stomach also creates a feeling of fullness, preventing overeating early in the morning.

According to a paper by Dr. Brenda Davey of the Department of Nutrition at Virginia Tech, people who drank two cups of water 20 minutes before breakfast lost about 2 kg more than those who did not drink water.

However, it is forbidden to drink 'cold water' immediately after waking up. .

 

If cold water is suddenly introduced into the body while sleeping, the autonomic nervous system can become overstimulated, potentially leading to cardiac abnormalities such as arrhythmia. Cold water can cause a sudden drop in body temperature, forcing the body to expend unnecessary energy to maintain normal body temperature. In particular, for the elderly, sudden ingestion of cold water can lower body temperature, reducing blood flow to the stomach and reducing digestive juice secretion.

 

The water you drink immediately after waking up is not cold water from the refrigerator, but lukewarm water, around 30 degrees Celsius, slightly lower than body temperature. Also, don't gulp down water in gulps; drink slowly and leisurely. If you have high blood pressure or a history of cerebral aneurysms or cerebral hemorrhages, drinking large amounts of water too quickly can suddenly increase blood flow to the brain. This can lead to complications such as cerebral blood vessel rupture. It's best to sip water over a period of about five minutes.
