Chinese medicine has a saying: “A cup of water in the morning, diseases will never come.” During 7-8 hours of sleep, we do not eat or drink but our body functions still work normally, losing water through breathing, intestinal movement… At this time, it is necessary to supplement a cup of water to provide energy for the body.
After a night of sleep, the food in the human body has been almost digested. It is extremely important to supplement about 200-300ml of warm water in the morning.
Lack of water during sleep will also increase the viscosity of blood. Supplementing water in the morning can help dilute the blood, reduce blood viscosity, prevent high blood pressure, and have a certain effect in preventing cardiovascular accidents.
However, instead of filtered water, you can replace it with these types of water that are very good for health.
