to be quite honest, I thought drinking water was such a stupid little thing, but it has kind of made me, I don’t know how to express it, feel better? it’s like, if I feel I haven’t done anything, I can remind myself I did that, and that helps me feel a little better. or when I’m drinking water while I’m prepping my breakfast, I just get this little smile that’s followed by a little giggle because I realize I’m doing this thing I once thought was so little and so stupid. by the way, I change it up sometimes and start with a detox water (hot water, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, cinnamon and sometimes honey) or lemon juice + some lemon in the water

Water, that’s what your body and spine needs most. Don’t add sugar or any "healthy" additives. Drink 24 ounces and immediately and let your body know you are in a place with abundant water

A cup of water helps stimulate your body first thing in the morning. After that a breakfast of whole fruit (not a smoothie) and protein (slice of meat or peanut butter).

Drink: A glass of chilled water! Perhaps even put some lemon slices, cucumber and mint in it to give you an extra boost of happiness =) Breakfast on a work day: I tended not to eat breakfast at all, because I felt in a hurry to get out of the house. Now I prepare my cold oats at the beginning of the week. Oats, water, yoghurt, banana’s and blue berries. Mix and put in the fridge. Ready to take out and eat on the bus the next morning! It is great to have a healthy breakfast without even needing to think about it! Weekend breakfast: I love treating myself to a nice brunch in the weekend. An avocado toast with a sunny egg. Or perhaps dark bread, cream cheese, salmon and tomato.... Mmmm delicious!

Drinking water when you first wake up will make your day better overall. It gets your metabolism started and you are rehydrating yourself first thing.

I think water is the best thing. You just feel better. You get dehydrated over night and getting some moisture back in your body helps everything feel better.

The thing that works best for me is to drink water first thing in the morning. I put off breakfast for a couple of hours as it makes me less energized if I eat right away. Also making my bed and walking around outside checking on my plants for a few minutes gets my blood going. I dont even need coffee to 'wake up' after doing these 3 things. Just takes a few minutes and my day is already off to a good start.

A large glass of water followed by a good breakfast of protein, fruit and a small carb

A glass of water is best to start your day with, so as to hydrate yourself after a long night’s sleep without any liquid intake, jumpstart your metabolism and prepare your body for breakfast and beginning your day.
