Everyone knows that drinking enough water is good for health. This is because water is essential for the functions of the digestive system, as well as the heart, lungs, and brain. Experts say, "The recommended daily water intake varies depending on body weight and other factors, but it is best to drink about 1.5 to 2 liters throughout the day."

 

When a pregnant woman or someone who is ill, it is advisable to increase the amount of water intake compared to usual. Only drinking water when thirsty is a bad habit. Even if you do not feel thirsty, you should develop a habit of drinking water regularly to maintain proper hydration in your body. Based on information from the American health media 'Everyday Health,' we looked into the optimal times of day to drink water and the proper way to do so.

|When I wake up in the morning|

The start of the day should be with water before coffee. Since you haven't been able to hydrate while sleeping, you need to replenish your water intake. Rinse your mouth with mouthwash or similar, then drink one or two glasses of lukewarm water on an empty stomach.

 

Before a meal

Drinking water 30 minutes to an hour before a meal helps eliminate hunger. Cold water is effective for those wanting to lose weight. Cold water delays digestion and suppresses appetite. According to research, people who drank ice water before a meal consumed less food than those who drank warm water.

 

|When eating|

Do not gulp down water to dilute gastric juice excessively. It is beneficial for digestion to consume small amounts of water just enough to make food go down smoothly. Especially when eating foods rich in fiber, adding water helps facilitate bowel movements.

 

|Afternoon break time|

Many office workers experience a drop in energy around 3 PM. They often turn to drinks like coffee and sweet snacks as a way to endure until the end of the workday. However, this is not a good choice for recharging.

Drinking caffeinated beverages six hours before sleep does not contribute to restful sleep. Eating bread and snacks mindlessly as a snack only contributes to belly fat accumulation. During break time, drinking water is the most effective way to replenish energy and improve mood.

 

|When you have a headache|

According to the National Headache Foundation in the United States, headaches can be a symptom of dehydration. Severe dehydration can even lead to migraines. Additionally, when the body lacks fluids, feelings of anger, hostility, and depression can unconsciously arise.

 

|Before exercise, during exercise, after exercise|

The more intense the exercise, the more essential water replenishment becomes. When the body is dehydrated, it also affects athletic performance. For moderate-intensity exercise, drink a glass of water 30 minutes before exercising. During exercise, sip water frequently. This helps reduce fatigue. It is also good to drink a glass of water after finishing the workout.

 

Before falling asleep

It is important to prevent your mouth from becoming excessively dry while sleeping. Drinking a large amount of water at once may cause you to wake up during the night to use the bathroom. It is sufficient to take one or two sips, just enough to moisten your mouth.
