When and How to Drink Water for Optimal Health

The Essential Guide to Hydration: When and How to Drink Water for Optimal Health

By Farht ullahPublished 9 months ago β€’ 5 min read

Some people say that they do not drink water at night so as not to have to go to the toilet frequently.

In this regard, a person asked his doctor, who was a cardiologist, "Why do people, especially the elderly, get up to urinate frequently at night?"

So the doctor replied:

βœ… When a person is standing or sitting, gravity retains water in the lower part of the body, and this is why some people's feet and legs swell.

βœ… But when a person lies down, the lower part of the body becomes level with the kidneys, and thus the kidneys start removing excess water and waste products from the body more effectively.

πŸ“Œ Water is very important for removing waste products from the body.

Best times to drink water and their benefits:

β˜€οΈ 1️⃣ Drink two glasses of water immediately after waking up

πŸ“Œ Activates the internal organs of the body and helps remove toxins.

🍽 2️⃣ Drink a glass of water 30 minutes before meals

πŸ“Œ Improves digestion and helps food be digested properly.

🚿 3️⃣ Drink a glass of water before taking a bath

πŸ“Œ Can help balance blood pressure.

πŸŒ™ 4️⃣ Drink a glass of water before going to bed

πŸ“Œ Reduces the risk of stroke and heart attack.

🦡 5️⃣ Prevent leg cramps by drinking water before going to bed at night

πŸ“Œ If there is sudden leg cramps or pain at night, one of the reasons for this may be dehydration.

πŸ”₯ 6️⃣ Drinking lukewarm water 20 minutes after eating

πŸ“Œ Helps in digestion and protects the body from excess fat.

πŸ“Œ Important instructions regarding taking aspirin:

🩺 If you take aspirin daily, it is more beneficial to take it at night, because:

βœ… The effect of aspirin lasts for 12 hours.

βœ… Most heart attacks occur in the morning, so if you take aspirin at night, it can reduce the risk of blood clots.

🚨 But use aspirin daily only on the advice of a doctor, as it can cause gastrointestinal upset and bleeding disorders in some people.

🩺 The relationship between the health of the heart and blood vessels and Fajr prayer

πŸ“Œ Cardiologists say:

πŸ”΄ The heartbeat slows down during sleep, due to which the arteries gradually narrow, and this increases the risk of heart attack in the morning.

πŸ“Œ That is why waking up and moving (walking or praying) at dawn improves blood flow and protects against heart disease.

βœ… Medical research has shown that most heart attacks occur around 8 am.

βœ… Waking up at dawn reactivates the arteries before they become narrow, and moving early improves blood circulation.

πŸ“Œ This is the wisdom that Fajr prayer is obligatory in Islam, and the call to prayer says "As-Salaat Khair Min-Naam" (Prayer is better than sleep).

🚨 If you suddenly have severe chest pain at night or in the morning:

βœ… Immediately chew two uncoated aspirin (Chewable Aspirin 300 mg) and drink some water.

βœ… Call emergency help (ambulance) immediately.

❌ Do not try to go back to sleep, as the heart attack can be more serious.

πŸ“Œ Important reminder:

βœ… Drinking the right amount of water is essential for health, but avoid drinking too much water at once.

βœ… These guidelines are based on the opinions of medical experts, but be sure to consult your doctor regarding any chronic disease or medication use.

βœ… Sharing this information could save someone's life, so be sure to pass it on to others.

πŸ’™ Adopt the right habits for a healthy life!
