Waking up in the mornings can be biologically tedious as the body need to prepare for it.
“Your body clock” signals the brain to release hormones such as cortisol…this makes your sleep lighter till you finally wake.
This activity increase the body temperature as well as blood pressure. Hence the need to ensure maximum awakening without feeling sluggish.
The entire body is made of 80% water..taking a glass of water as soon as you wake goes beyond defogging the brain but also starts up your metabolism.
Gulp down a 500ml glass of water or 2 if you can and be refreshed all day long. Because the brain doesn’t have store for water, early morning glass is way beneficial to improve brain health.
It also helps cleanse the kidneys of toxins. Flushes the bladder of UTIs (Urinary tract infections) and purges your colon so you “poop” giving you a all day light and energetic feeling.
ACTIVATE YOUR CELLS AND HAVE A PRODUCTIVE, STRESS-FREE DAY!
