In Japan there is a widespread morning ritual: First drink a cup or a glass of warm water on an empty stomach. This ritual is part of asian culture. There are four good reasons for this:
1. Improved metabolism in the morning
If you drink warm water on an empty stomach, your metabolism will get an extra boost of energy. And this actually happens without eating food. You just feel incredibly well – give it a try tomorrow!
2. Support digestion
Warm water helps to dissolve fats from food. So fats are easier to digest and your body has less work. If you drink warm water on a regular basis, it will have long term positive effects on the digestive system.
3. Natural detoxification
Warm water is perfect for detoxifying the body in a gentle and natural way. As the metabolism, circulation and body temperature are stimulated at the same time, the body can clean itself through sweat and other excretory processes. So many toxins are just washed out.
4. Water beautifies the skin
Drinking water on an empty stomach increases the blood flow and helps to revitalize. Water beautifies the complexion of the skin and increases the healthy glow. In addition the skin heals through the increased elimination of toxins.
Warm water is not only the elixir of life but also a real source of energy!
