The body works throughout the night without receiving any fluids. According to the outlet Sveika mokykla, we lose fluids through both breathing and sweating, even if we do not notice it.
As a result, the body is often slightly dehydrated in the morning. At the same time, you may not feel thirsty, as thirst typically arises late in the process.
The body’s response
When you drink water on an empty stomach, several things happen in the body. Sveika mokykla explains that water moistens the stomach and kickstarts digestion.
The intestines begin to work, and the body absorbs fluid into the cells, which have lacked it during the night. This helps the organs function more effectively.

Warm rather than cold
The temperature of the water also matters. Lukewarm water is easier for the body to absorb and feels more comfortable in the stomach.
Cold water, on the other hand, may require more energy to warm up and can cause discomfort for some people.
Sveika mokykla notes that changing the order of your morning drinks can make a difference.
By drinking a glass of water first and waiting a bit before having coffee, you may experience a calmer stomach and more stable energy throughout the day.
