<\/span>Drinking Water First Thing in the Morning<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You can safely drink water right after waking up, even before you brush your teeth. While it doesn\u2019t replace oral hygiene, it can support your overall health in the following ways:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Rehydration:<\/strong> Your body uses up fluids during sleep, and you don\u2019t usually drink water overnight. Having a glass of water in the morning helps replenish lost fluids and rehydrate your system^{2<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n}
Mouth freshness: <\/strong>Although drinking water does not remove plaque or bacteria (brushing your teeth with fluoride toothpaste is essential for that)^{3<\/sup><\/a>, it may help clean the mouth and wash away some of the dryness, making brushing feel more effective.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n}
Hydration and body functions: <\/strong>Staying well-hydrated supports circulation, digestion, and energy levels. In people who are dehydrated, water intake may also help stabilise blood pressure and blood sugar levels^{4<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n}
Digestive comfort: <\/strong>Drinking water on an empty stomach may help dilute stomach acid and reduce feelings of indigestion in some individuals.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Immunity: <\/strong>When you drink water regularly before brushing, you may notice your immunity becoming more robust. There may be fewer incidents of illnesses such as common cough and cold, flu or hay fever.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Skin health: <\/strong>Drinking an adequate amount of water is important for maintaining healthy-looking skin^{4<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>}
