Drinking water is good for health. Every day, you are advised to drink at least 8 glasses every day. Quoting Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board recommends the amount of water intake of 2.7 liters per day for women and 3.7 liters for men. For my discussion with specialist doctors in Malaysia, reveals there are some of the best times to drink water.
Right after waking up is the best time to drink water to maintain health and immunity.
Drinking 1-2 glasses of water every waking up is also important to replace lost body fluids when you sleep all night. Water can also help the body's metabolic processes.
In pandemic conditions such as now water can also increase endurance and balance fluid levels in the body. Besides waking up, also suggested drinking water before bed. This will help to improve sleep quality.
Consuming adequate water before and after exercising is also important to replace body fluids lost during exercise.
But one thing to remember, don't drink too much water. Excessive water consumption because it can cause water poisoning which results in hyponatremia or lack of salt in the body.
On the worsening effect can cause headaches, muscle cramps, can even cause seizures, and lead to death. So drink enough water, no less not too much. It's just that this doesn't mean you only need to drink water at these times. Drink water when you feel thirsty, and reduce drinks with artificial sweeteners, caffeine, soda, and alcohol to maintain health.
