Drink water before and after bedtime (seriously)
Don't
drink water before bed because you don't want to get up in the middle of the
night to pee? You want to re-think that.
I knew you need your minimum water to help flush the toxins out of your body,
but this was news to me. Correct time to drink water...
Very Important. From A Cardiac Specialist!
Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body:
2 glasses of
water after waking up - helps activate internal organs
1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion
1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood
pressure
1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or
heart attack
I can also add to this... My Physician told me that water at bed time will also help prevent night time leg cramps. Your leg muscles
are seeking hydration when they cramp and wake you up with a Charlie Horse .
