Wake Up with Water
"Before you put coffee, tea, or food into your body,
it's best to first break your fast with a glass of water with lemon,"
says Ashley Koff, RD, a nutritionist in Los Angeles and founder of ashleykoffapproved.com.
When you sleep, Koff says, your body isn't just abstaining from food
but from water too.
"Because many vitamins are water-soluble,
having a glass before you eat will help your body
better absorb nutrients from food."
The acidity of the lemon helps re-balance your digestive tract
by making it alkaline, allowing "good" bacteria in your intestines
to thrive and facilitate optimal nutrient absorption.

You know you're supposed to have multiple glasses a day.
But it's better to sip a little water all day long instead of
chugging a giant glass when you suddenly feel parched.
"If your tongue feels dry to the touch or your pee
is bright yellow, you're dehydrated," says Alpert.
