If someone asked you how to drink water, you might think it's a silly
question. Everyone needs water, everyone drinks water everyday and most
people know to drink water when they are thirsty. But drinking water may
not be as simple as you thought. Especially in the dry winter weather,
there are certain things that need attention.

Water-drinking timetable

6:30-7:00

After a night's sleep, your body really needs water. Drinking about 250cc
of water as soon as you get up helps clean out your liver and kidney.
It's a good idea to hold off on breakfast until the water has entered
every cell of your body, so try not to eat for half an hour after
drinking the water.

8:00-9:00

The commute to the office in the morning can be stressful, and this
dehydrates your body. Drink at least 250cc of water when you get to work
to refresh yourself from the commute.

11:00

After working several hours in a closed office, the heat may dry out your
skin. Drink some water to help moisturize your body and decrease
work-related stress.

13:00

Drinking water after lunch not only helps your digestion but also helps
keep your body in shape.

15:00-16:00

In the afternoon many people may feel sleepy and cannot concentrate on
their work. If this sounds like you that means you should drink some
water to give yourself a lift.

15:00

Before you leave the office, drinking water can make you feel full. It
especially works for people on diets.

22:00

Drink a cup of water half an hour to an hour before you sleep, which can
help prevent blood clots.
