Fluid Intake and Health
#fluid intake, #water, #empty stomach, #bowel movement, #dehydration, #health drinks, #digestion
The body keeps its fluid balance by triggering thirst when fluid is low and excreting excess fluid in the urine. Rather than following a fixed standard, the basic principle is to drink enough when you feel thirsty. Drinking water on an empty stomach in the morning can replace fluid used up overnight and may help bowel movement.2026-06-26
