REAL SIMPLE posed the question, “Should you be drinking water first thing in the morning?” Short answer is it’s good but not required. However, adequate daily hydration is required. The benefits of water first thing in the morning include:
– Helps you wake up
– May boost mental performance
– Cold water may boost metabolism for about an hour
– May quell hunger sensation
For adequate daily hydration, which is what matters more than the timing, how much is enough? Shoot for half your body weight (in ounces).
Final bit of advice from REAL SIMPLE, when you’re thirsty, drink up. Brilliant!
