Water Wallop!

Amreen Shaikh, dietician at Wockhardt Hospitals, Mumbai Central, tells you how to drink water the right way.

The first step to drinking water correctly is not to gulp it down, but to sip it. Hence, drink it from a glass rather than directly from the bottle. —

Drink water on an empty stomach as soon as you wake up to flush out the toxins. It also improves metabolism and helps you lose weight. —

Drink a glass of water an hour before going to bed. This will help replenish the fluid loss during the day.

Don’t wait until you feel thirsty; keep sipping water throughout the day to keep your body hydrated.

Drinking water 30 minutes before meals will help you digest food well.

Drink water at the right temperature; neither too hot nor icy cold.
