Ever
met one of those women that are deceptively youthful in physique and face? They
look twenty-something and back up this notion with their sprightly gait, agile
movements and upbeat smile. You are sure you're talking to a young person when
they let slip out that their child is in class 11, and you cannot believe that
the lady is well over 40. You scour her face for signs of surgery, Botox or
heavy makeup but there are none. Her skin is glowing from within and possesses
the natural elasticity of youth. Her body, too, looks natural and fit in
movement and stance. You wonder how some people got so lucky.
Well, they didn't. They worked at it. Have been for the past two decades at least. Disciplined lifestyle habits have led them to this point. Now they enjoy the fruits of their labour. One common lifestyle ritual of such people is drinking lots of water in the morning.
The first thing to do when you wake up in the morning is gulp down 4 glasses of water. So, the next time you wake up; refrain from reaching over to light the gas in preparation of that mug of black coffee or masala chai. Instead, stumble towards the RO system and pour yourself four glasses of water. You can break them down into sets of two if your stomach rebels against so much water consumption at once.
The multiple benefits of having water on an empty stomach, followed by no food or drink for a minimum of 40 minutes has been recorded by many. But let me run by some key advantages for your information. Water purges the system clean of toxins, which not only gives you better health and protects you from ailments but also gives you glowing skin. It also cleanses the colon and makes it easy for the body to absorb nutrients. Further, it increases the production of blood and muscle cells. It boosts your metabolism and helps you lose weight. It balances your lymph system and body fluids, helping you function at your optimum. These just form the tip of the iceberg. Some claim this 'water therapy' can cure conditions such as BP, diabetes and even cancer.
You can use the 40-minute waiting period to read the newspaper, check messages, do yoga, go for a walk, or just chat with loved ones, discussing the day ahead, talking about work, discussing the news or just indulging in light hearted idle banter.
When you eventually have your hot wake-me-up beverage after the wait period, you will feel great that you were patient, and will feel content that you were kind to your body, knowing it will pay you back in time.
