What are the benefits of drinking water in the morning? Reminder: It is not light salt/honey water
Drinking water is something that humans must do, because the human body cannot live without water.
There are many different opinions on what water should be drunk in the first glass of water in the morning.
Honey water
Many people like to drink a glass of honey water in the morning on an empty stomach, it is good for people with constipation, because honey water can have a laxative effect and help defecation.
If you are a diabetic, you should not drink honey water early in the morning as it will increase the risk of blood glucose, which is not good for blood glucose control.
If you drink honey water after waking up early, you will lose your appetite, which will affect the breakfast intake and affect the body's nutrient absorption.
Light salt water
Some people say that getting up in the morning and drinking a glass of light salt water can kill harmful bacteria in the mouth.
However, the salt intake of each person in three meals a day is already high, and according to medical data, the human body cannot consume more than 6 grams of salt per person per day.
If you choose light salt water for the first cup in the morning, it will easily lead to excessive daily salt intake, and long-term high-salt state will easily lead to increased blood pressure and increase the risk of high blood pressure .
Plain water
In fact, many people who know how to maintain health know that the first glass of water in the morning is the best for the human body, because:
1. Plain water comes from tap water after high-temperature sterilization, which does not contain any harmful microorganisms.
2. Plain boiled water is zero-calorie, does not contain any protein, fat and carbohydrates, is easily and quickly absorbed and digested by the body, and can dilute the blood to promote blood circulation.
3. When you wake up in the morning, the human brain is still in a state of being awake. Plain water can promote the brain to wake up quickly and resume operation , but also can quickly replenish the body due to long sleep and the lack of water.
