Warm Water, Fresh Start

You could be used to waking up in the morning with a cup of coffee or tea. But studies suggest that drinking warm water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach has the greatest health benefits. So after going for hours without a drink, refreshing your body in the morning with a glass of water is a good idea.

According to research, the ideal temperature for hot beverages is between 130 and 160°F (54 and 71°C). The Ayurvedic technique of adding lemon to a warm glass of water helps in the removal of toxins that may have accumulated in your digestive tract over the course of the night, serves as an excellent source of vitamin C, helps to freshen breath, promotes weight reduction, and speeds up metabolism and digestion.
