1. When you get up: Gently sipping 2 glasses of lukewarm water when you wake up, activates internal organs, stimulates peristalsis, lowers blood concentration and boosts blood circulation.
2. Before each meal: 1 glass of water, ½ hour before meals (but not any closer to eating time), helps in waking up taste buds on the tongue, preparing the stomach for incoming food, and moisturizing the stomach lining, making brittle or acidic foods more assimilable.
3. After a meal: Drinking water, atleast ½ hour after your meals, helps break down food, enabling the body to absorb nutrients effectively. Water also softens stools, preventing constipation.
4. With a snack: Sometimes people think they are hungry when they really are just dehydrated. Drinking water before a snack, or with one, will help you feel full faster and eat less.
5. Mid day: 2 cups of water in the afternoon (2 to 3 PM) helps fight food cravings and refreshes your mind and body.
6. When you need a spark: Because of its ability to move quickly throughout the body, water can reach your brain and activate it right before a meeting or any other situation, where you need to pay attention.
7. Before a workout: Exercise blunts your thirst mechanism making you lose fluid so rapidly that the brain can't respond in time. An hour before you hit the gym, grab an extra 20 ounces to hydrate before you dehydrate.
8. After a workout: Post your exercise session, drink up to replenish lost fluids. Drink in moderation and slowly, to avoid stomach cramps.
9. Before your shower: 1 glass of water before a bath helps lower blood pressure.
10. With your medication (if allowed): Water helps to dissolve the medication and spread it throughout your digestive organs for rapid absorption and aids disposal of toxins.
11. When exposed to viruses: If exposed to viruses, during hospital visits, at work and school, drinking water helps wash away germs and viruses, moving along any invaders before they settle down and multiply in your system.
12. When you’re ill: A bout of fever, vomiting or diarrhea, leads to rapid dehydration and worsens your condition. In respiratory illnesses, water breaks down thickened secretions and hastens their disposal process.
13. Before going to bed: The body consumes water, for various processes, while we are asleep, making us feel thirsty and dehydrated in the morning. Drinking some water an hour before you sleep, can help replenish any water loss during the night.
