Your body uses up its water supply during the night when you sleep. You don't always wake up in the middle of the night to refill your water stores.

That is why you should drink water as soon as you wake up. It will rehydrate you. The germs and bacteria inside your mouth multiply during the night. When you drink water in the morning before brushing, it will clean out your mouth and make tooth-brushing more effective.

When you make a habit of drinking water before brushing, you will notice your immunity becoming more robust. There will be fewer incidents of you falling prey to illnesses such as common cough and cold, flu or hay fever. Yet another surprising benefit is that drinking water before brushing will lower high blood pressure and regulate blood sugar levels throughout the day.

When you start the day with a glass of water, you ensure that problems like gastritis or indigestion will not plague you.
