In this article we will provide information about drinking water, immediately after waking up (before brushing your teeth) in the morning. Some of us would have developed this habit naturally as one might feel thirsty on waking up in the morning. However those who are not habituated to it are missing out on multiple health benefits.
How Much Water Should I Drink?
Before discussing Benefits of Drinking Water in Morning, let’s talk about the quantity of water one should drink in morning. For those adults who are not habituated, should start with 1 full glass and gradually over a period of few months, should increase the intake to 3 glasses. For those who comfortably drink 1 glass, should start with 1 and half glass and gradually over a period of few months should scale it up to 3 glasses.
