Drinking water in an empty stomach after waking up is deemed beneficial in Indian holistic medical practises like ayurveda(maybe many others too) . They consider it to cleanse the stomach and help detoxifying the body . It is a simple regime that can yield good benefits. Do you follow this simple routine?

I do that ! But I also add a pinch of organic apple cider vinegar and chia seeds.

@Sojourn That's what they say . . . apparently ancient folk used to use it - so it's not a new concept.

That is pretty much what I do. I always have a glass of water or a cup ready to drink water.

Yup, I have heard about that. As for me, I take a glass of water with 1-2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar. Also, warm lemon water with 1 teaspoon of honey.

Morning I try my best to drink water on empty stomach but most of the days I wake up late so I try to drink at least two liter of water in a day.

@compslick always staying hydrated is good for health, though food provides some percentage of water required for body but its not enough so you have to take in liquid to supplement it.

I don't. For me it's coffee first. But might have to rethink that.

Yes, I drink at least 2 glasses of warm water on empty stomach, first thing in the morning. Then, I will not eat breakfast until after 45 minutes after drinking the warm water. It a very good way of detoxifying the bodY. Whenever I do that, after a while I will have a runny nose , would fart then in a little while will eliminate my wastes. It's now my daily "upon waking up in the morning" regimen.
