What is the first thing you drink in the morning? How many of you opt straight for the morning coffee to give yourself that much needed kick-start?
Or how many of you drink water upon waking before reaching for the coffee?
When we sleep our body naturally becomes dehydrated because of course we do not take on board any fluid for up to 8 hours or sometimes more. Therefore it is imperative that upon waking we re-hydrate ourselves as our body needs this fluid in order to function as well as flush out any toxins in your body first thing in the morning. On top of this there are many other health benefits that might help you make this change to drinking water when you wake up. Such as: -
- Promote Glowing Skin (who doesnt want their skin to glow before they step out the door)
- Give us a metabolism boost = Support & Enhance Weight loss.
- Support production of new muscle and blood cells
- Balance fluids in the body (Lympth System)
- Support nutrient absorption for the rest of the day.
- Fight infections and diseases
Reading the above im sure is enough to make you consider taking up this healthy habit but a problem I have have stumbled across with many of my clients and even my wife is - They don't like the taste of water!
My solution and the thought behind this post is to give you some alternatives to help you look forward to waking up and drinking your water every single day. Simply add one of the following fruits to your water the night before, put it in the refriderator overnight and Voila! You have a refreshing drink to look forward to every day;-
Cucumber - Antioxidant/Detox Properties, Promotes Muscle Health, Reduces Blood Pressure
Stawberries - Anti Ageing Properties, Keep Metabolism High, Cleanse Body of Unwanted Toxins
Lemon - Surpress Apetite (Boosts Weight Loss), Relieve Muscle Pain, Fights Acne
Blueberries - Antioxidant Properties, Promote Weight Loss, Help With Arthritis
Lime - Increase Vitamin C intake, Nourish Skin & Reduce Wrinkles, Protection Against Cancer
Give some of them a go and let me know your thoughts. I myself have been drinking my own home-made fruit infused water for a while now and I feel healthier than ever. Dont be afraid to mix and match what you put inside your water or even add other ingredients for more health benefits such as Kiwi's or Mint Leaves.
Recommended Water intake first thing in the morning is - 500ml - 1.5L .
