THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER
Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink
this water before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar to body
temperature, neither too hot nor too cold.
Why should you drink this water? It helps clean out your kidneys. It prepares your stomach
for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work better. After drinking water, the
intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food.
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day. But don’t drink all of
that water in one sitting. It’s better to drink some in the morning and some in the afternoon.
Some people think it’s better to drink between meals and not during meals. They think water
dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs.
Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow,
you are probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to
drink more water
