Warm water is the best way to kick-start the digestive system after a long sleep
After a long sleep, water in your body is lost through breathing and sweating, so what your body needs most at this time is to be rehydrated. Warm water is the best choice at this time.
Biochemically, temperature affects enzyme activity. Enzymes work best within an optimal temperature range, usually around body temperature.
Enzymes are involved in a series of biochemical reactions in the body, including digestion and cell regeneration. There is no direct evidence that warm water directs enzymes to prioritize an activity over another in an "emergency response" manner. However, aiding digestion and reducing stress on the body with warm water can indirectly help the body focus its energy on recovery processes.
Digestive enzymes work better when they're awakened with warm water, which can stimulate the digestive system, activate intestinal motility, help eliminate waste more effectively, and prevent constipation.
Why warm water and not cold water, or a cup of coffee?
- Cold water in the morning causes stomach cramps and slows down digestion, while warm water helps relax intestinal muscles and promote detoxification.
- Coffee can suddenly stimulate the digestive system, although there is no direct evidence that it causes enzyme "shock". Sugary drinks, honey, and other sweeteners can also put pressure on the digestive system immediately.
In conclusion
According to Ayurveda and traditional medicine experts often recommended to hydrate first after a long sleep by drinking warm water to help awaken enzymes to gently kick-start the digestive system, which will bring many health benefits.
Even after each meal, warm water digests food more quickly than cold water because it is easier for the stomach to digest food. Warm water plays a role in digestive enzyme function by aiding in their stimulation and optimal activity, ultimately promoting better food breakdown and nutrient absorption. It helps break down food more efficiently and can relax the gastrointestinal muscles, improving digestion and reducing bloating.
