Drinking Water in the Morning

Most of us have heard that drinking about 7 to 8 glasses of water daily is important for health.

Traditional Ayurveda teaches that drinking two glasses of cool water in the morning after rising and waiting half to one hour before eating, has great therapeutic benefits. Water first thing, effectively kick starts the metabolism, activating liver, kidneys, lymph and bowels and rehydrating the brain (particularly important as we get older). It assists weight loss and is found to improve many conditions ranging from memory loss to cancer.

Why do We Need to Drink Water in the Morning?

70% of the human body content is water, and naturally the cleaner and clearer the internal body water is, the healthier tissues and organs are.  It makes sense that if one puts dirty and sediment filled water into the car radiator it will clog up.  Our body vehicle is no different.

The human brain cells contain about 80% of water so hydrating the brain improves memory and brain function.

75% of muscles are water. Blood and lymph are 80% water

Apart from drinking hot water with lemon and ginger, soup and vegetable It is also helpful to consume foods that contain lots of water; for example soups, vegetables and fruits.

What Are the Dangers of Not Drinking Enough Water?

Not drinking enough water can cause stiffness of joints, brain shrinkage and memory loss, dry, prematurely aging skin, hair loss, spinal disk problems, diabetes, insomnia, sinusitis etc.  Many diseases are directly related to not drinking enough water. Therefore one can avoid unnecessary and costly medical interventions by rehydrating your body.

In a book titled the Water Therapy and Chronic Dehydration, Batmanghelidj wrote “human beings seem to lose their sensation of thirst and the important need for water”. He continued by saying “not recognizing the need for water, humans gradually become chronically and increasingly dehydrated as they age”.

What Are the Benefit of Drinking Water in the Morning?

Drinking water as soon as you get up, i.e. before eating anything, is a good way to purify your internal system.

Among its most important benefits is colon cleansing, which enables better absorption of nutrients from various foods.  It stimulates haematopoiesis, better known as creation of “new blood”, which has immense healing and restorative effects.

1. Water first thing in morning helps eliminate pimples and makes the skin glow. Water is known to purge toxins from your blood, and as a result your skin glows.

2. It regenerates tissues and body fluids including blood.  The rate at which new muscle and blood cells are produced and renewed is speeded up. 

3. it stimulates the lymph system. Water first thing in the morning on a daily basis, activates your body’s lymph system thus helps clear infectious areas and also stimulates fluid metabolism. This aids the breakdown of cellulite and water retention, promoting weight loss.

4. it assists weight loss. Drinking 3 to 6 full glasses of water (chilled), boosts you’re body’s metabolism by over 20% thus helping you lose those extra pounds.

5. It purifies the colon. When you drink water after you have woken up before eating anything, you are cleansing your colon and making nutrient absorption more efficient. Bowel movements usually become more regular and complete.

6. It has been proven to cure or alleviate many illnesses and diseases. A Japanese medical society has discovered that water therapy cures many diseases. Many diseases are cured by drinking water first thing in the morning. Eg sinusitis, tonsillitis, post nasal drip, arthritis, fibromyalgia, gout, menstrual disorders, back pain, eye diseases, constipation, diarrhea, urinary disease, kidney disease, meningitis, TB, headaches and cancer, among others.

How to drink Water in the Morning for Best Results

 Drink up to 1.5 liters (3/6 glasses) of water immediately after waking up.

Avoid drinking or eating anything else for an hour before and after drinking the water. Avoid drinking beverages that contain alcohol the previous night.

 At first, you may find it difficult to drink more than 3 glasses of water at a go. However, it becomes easier as your body gradually becomes accustomed to the routine. When starting, you can slightly modify the routine as follows; consume 3 glasses of water, pause for about 2 minutes, then drink the remaining 1 more glass of water and build up daily.

Morning Water Treatment Method

The effectiveness of this therapy also depends on the quality of water you drink. Preferably use water which has been filtered or is known to be clean without additives.

 The moment you wake up, drink 3 or 4 glasses of water.

Clean/brush your teeth soon and don’t eat or drink anything.

After 45 minutes, you can take your breakfast.

After breakfast, take 2 hours before you drink or eat anything.

For people who are ill or old, taking 4 glasses of water at a go may prove difficult. Therefore, take water in small amounts until it adds up to 4 or more glasses daily.

TEA - GREEN TEA IS GOOD AND SO IS HONEYBUSH MIXED WITH ROOIBOS (REDBUSH) 

Tea contains compounds called catechins, which are thought to be able to stop the growth of cancer cells and help prevent cellular mutations that contribute to cancer development. In Japan, where tea is the preferred beverage, green-tea consumption has been shown to reduce the risk of stomach cancer among women. In China, green-tea drinkers were found to have a reduced risk of developing rectal and pancreatic cancers compared with non-tea drinkers. Regular tea drinkers have also been shown to be at lower risk for colon, breast, ovarian, prostate, and lung cancers. After analyzing tea’s chemical components, scientists have discovered that black tea, oolong tea, green tea, and white tea all seem to have value as cancer preventive agents, and each variety seems to protect against different types of mutagens.
