Most of us can’t engage with another human being until we’ve had our morning coffee, but there’s something else that will actually have you functioning way better: water. Here’s why you should rather reach for a glass of water first thing in the morning.
Ease Aches and Pains
Water really is a magical elixir. Ever have a headache from not drinking enough? Water can also act like a natural lubricant for your joints and help to flush out excess acid in your body that may be causing pain.
Boost Your Metabolism
Our metabolisms slow with age, but studies have found that drinking water can help. Not only does water have the ability to make you feel full and remove the by-products of fat cells, but it can increase your metabolism.
Increase Your Energy
Water boosts our number of red blood cells which send oxygen to the brain. More oxygen makes us feel more alert and energized for the rest of the day.
Clears Complexion
Drinking water is the first step to good skin. The hydration will make your skin appear more radiant while having water on an empty stomach will help retain the elasticity of your skin and prevent wrinkles.
