• A good time to drink one or two glasses of room temperature water is when you wake up in the morning. In this way secretions retained in the stomach overnight are removed and the kidneys are activated.
• It’s ideal to drink water 15 to 30 minutes before meals, and not during or after.
▪ If you drink water with or after food, it increases stomach volume, makes its contractions more difficult, and dilutes gastric juices all of which slow down digestion.
• It is preferable not to drink water 2 to 3 hours before bedtime particularly for men suffering with prostate enlargement to avoid interrupting one’s sleep to urinate in the night.

Thank you Doc. My husband will always want me to take water as I wake up but I am always reluctant. Now, is time to embrace it better than before.
Thanks again Doc.
That’s good! I am glad you know better now!
Cheers!
