The secret to protecting your stomach: drinking warm water in the morning is best
The first glass of water in the morning should be warm water. Drinking water in the morning promotes blood circulation and prevents cardiovascular diseases. For the average person, plain water is best in the morning; salt should not be added (drinking salt water can worsen hypertonic dehydration, making one feel even more thirsty. Besides, morning is the first peak of elevated blood pressure in the body, and drinking salt water will make blood pressure even higher). For people with constipation, drinking honey water is a good choice. Do not drink more than 150 ml of water on an empty stomach upon waking in the morning.
