People are often advised to drink plenty of water. But what if you don't feel thirsty?
Is there a time when drinking water is healthier?
Here, experts share when to drink water to maximize benefits.
Dr. Partap Chauhan, Director of Jiva Ayurveda Clinic (India), affirms that the way and when to drink water is very important. In traditional medicine, water is not only a refreshing drink but also a medicine, a rhythm - symbolizing the cyclical nature of life.
Drinking water mindfully can heal, energize, and balance the body. Mindful drinking can actually support the body’s healing process, says Dr. Chauhan.
So, Dr. Chauhan has pointed out 5 times of the day when people need to drink water to improve health benefits, according to the Indian Express.
What are the health benefits of drinking water when you wake up?
Right after waking up, before doing anything, drink a glass of warm water.

As soon as you wake up, before doing anything else, drink a glass of warm water. This gently wakes up the entire system by flushing out toxins from the body, aiding digestion and helping focus the mind, explains Dr Chauhan.
30 minutes before each meal
About 10 to 20 minutes before eating, sip warm water. This helps prepare the digestive process for smooth digestion, he says. Try not to drink too much during or immediately after a meal, Dr. Chauhan notes.
1 hour after meal
After meals, when the food has settled, a small glass of warm water can be drunk to aid nutrient absorption and mild detoxification.
When feeling thirsty
Your body knows you best. Dr Chauhan advises stopping and listening to your body and drinking water when you are thirsty, but not constantly drinking as this can make you feel uncomfortable or sluggish.
Before bathing and before going to bed
Dr Chauhan said a small glass of water before a bath can also help with blood circulation. He added: A small glass of water an hour before bed can help the nervous system settle down so that the muscles can recharge while sleeping overnight.
What should be noted?
Dr Chauhan recommends sitting down while drinking water. Try to sip, not gulp. Drink room temperature or warm water, not cold. Even if it’s a small change, proactively drinking water will do wonders for your body, mood, and overall health, Dr Chauhan said, according to the Indian Express.
