True or false? It’s not how much water you drink - it’s WHEN you drink it.

Is it true we’re supposed to be drinking water on a schedule? 

Yes and no. There’s a popular water regiment circulating that claims to do wonders for your body. We’re all supposed to be drinking about 8 glasses of water a day, give or take a few. If you drink your water right, you could be tapping into some real health benefits. Here is the truth:

* 2 glasses of water right after you wake jump starts your internal organs. While that’s debatable it will help to get things moving and get your day off to a hydrated start. 

* Have another glass about 30 minutes before each meal. This is good advice. It helps digestion and will also curb your appetite a bit.

* Save a glass of water for bedtime. It’s not a cure-all for stroke and heart attack, but a lot of us tend to get dehydrated by the end of the day which does make our heart work harder.

There’s four glasses - you’ve only got four more to go. Go ahead and drink those whenever you like. While there’s no proven health benefits to a strict water regiment, there’s no debate that we need to stay well hydrated. If a schedule helps you accomplish that - it certainly can’t hurt.
