And Dr. Daria Rusakova says, according to Russian media reports: “To start the work of the body’s systems in the morning, you need to drink a cup of filtered or spring water, not tap water, which contains many impurities. Even water boiled is not suitable, because “The thermal treatment of water leads to structural changes that lose its beneficial properties. Mineral water is not the best alternative because it contains a high percentage of gas”.
And the Russian nutritionist points out that the temperature of the water we drink on an empty stomach should range between 22 and 25 degrees Celsius.

He says: “Cold, ice water is uncomfortable for the digestive system. Since the temperature in the stomach is 37 degrees Celsius and in the intestines 38 degrees Celsius.

He adds that it is better to drink water while sitting and in small sips, not in one gulp. Its amount should not exceed 450 milliliters, so have breakfast within a maximum period of half an hour.
Point out that there are some exceptions to the benefits of adding lemon juice, ginger, or honey to water.
“Water with lemon can only be drunk in the absence of acidity, heartburn and citrus allergy,” she says. As for water with ginger, it helps to remove edema (swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in body tissues) and has a slight antibacterial effect. ” But it is not recommended to take it in case of respiratory diseases and body temperature high. This is because ginger increases body temperature and blood pressure. As for honey water, it is actually sugar water, so it can cause heartburn and bloating in the morning, as well as increased weight.” .
