Hi, Drinking water at the right time maximises its effectiveness on the human body. * 1 glass of water after waking up - helps to activate the internal organs. * 1 glass of water 30 mins before meals - helps digestion. * 1 glass of water before taking bath - helps to lower your blood pressure. * 1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack. Follow the above tips and be healthy!
