Wow. I don't see how this works. I mean, we all know that we, humans, do require water, lots of water, to be able to survive. However, does it really make any difference how much we drink at what time of the day?
Sorry to be skeptic but, until I see a study that actually proves the therapeutic effects of imbibing one liter of water the moment you wake up, I'd file this tidbit of "fact" under a mental folder marked "insignificant" It sounds like a hype, or something on its way to being one.
Nowadays, we are being bombarded with trivia that all but cavepeople know but are passed off as revolutionary. Hey, did you know that antioxidants in apples can
help in preventing cancer? Did you know tomatoes, rich in antioxidants, can
aid in the prevention of cancer? Did you know that iron in bitter gourd can
improve blood circulation? Really, there is an abundance of stuff out there that our ancestors already knew to be beneficial, only, people are touting it as something new. Like before, we're no closer to a cure. We're no closer to prevention either, if I might be audacious enough to claim. We only have fancy terms for the good stuff in fruits and vegetables our ancestors already knew.
And now this? Drink water at daybreak; you'll have a healthy glow, be full of energy and away from normal diseases. I'm not even gonna say anything about healthy glows since it's an unquantifiable, qualitative property. Lessee... it is generally known that well-hydrated people can sustain water-losing activities, like perspiring, digestion, locomotion, pushing, pulling and exertion of force, more than dehydrated people. Is that energy enough? Try lifting weights with a thirsty man. Chances are, you'd appear to have more energy than the poor guy.
Away from normal diseases... lessee... What are normal diseases anyway? Coughs and cold? Influenza? AIDS? Genital herpes? Is immunity something we can attribute to drinking water at dawn? Or is it more like a combination of well-hydration, good nutrition, regular exercise and healthy living?
Sorry for "venting" but I don't really see the point right now nor can I verify its effectiveness. As they say in Wikipedia, "Citation needed"
