Speed up your metabolism
According to some research, such as that published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, drinking water on an empty stomach first thing in the morning helps to speed up your metabolism by around 24%. Speeding up your metabolism as soon as you wake up therefore helps you burn more fat and lose weight!
Immune system ally
Consuming water on an empty stomach supports the balance of the lymphatic system, a key part of our immune system, which helps protect us from fever and other illnesses.
Healthier hair
Dehydration makes hair roots dry, brittle and rough. Water is also essential for transporting vitamins useful for healthy hair. Drinking water before breakfast, when your body is not yet sufficiently hydrated, makes your hair healthier and shinier.
Prevents headaches
Dehydration is one of the causes of migraine. To prevent this discomfort, it is therefore advisable to start hydrating properly in the morning.
More beautiful skin
The appearance of dark spots and wrinkles on the skin is also caused by a dehydrated body. Drinking a glass of water on an empty stomach increases blood flow activity, making the skin appear healthier and brighter.
Stimulates energy
Did you know that it’s not just coffee that gets us back on our feet in the morning? Yes, because water stimulates the increase of red blood cells and generates more oxygen in the blood, more than any other drink, including coffee.
In Japan, the ‘water therapy’ treatment has been approved by the Japanese Medical Association. What does this treatment consist of?
Drink four glasses of water as soon as you get up, before eating or brushing your teeth. You have to drink in sips, slowly and pause between each glass.
After that you can brush your teeth, but avoid eating for the next 45 minutes.
After this time, you can have breakfast.
Avoid eating for the next 2 hours.
If you are unable to drink 4 glasses of water initially, try 2 first and then gradually increase to the recommended dose.
How many of us will be able to put Japanese water therapy into practice, given the hectic pace of our society? Regardless of any theory, it has been confirmed that drinking water on an empty stomach promotes our well-being. It’s just a matter of willpower. Try it and believe it.
