    First thing in the morning I chug a tall glass of water. Somehow that’s actually made a healthy difference.

      First thing I do in the morning is dread life itself and my parents choice to have me, then I wish i would die for 5 min, and then I take a glass of water. Also works

        Not the previous commenter but I do the same thing and I find it makes me feel less foggy in the first couple hours of waking up and helps me want to eat breakfast.

          “helps me want to eat breakfast”

          So my brother used to wake up and slam down like 20oz of water in the morning. He noticed it gave him a huge appetite for breakfast and all throughout the day. Ends up that this is an exersize that competitive eaters do. From my understanding, It stretches your stomach out, and the water drains out pretty quickly leaving it empty and ready for a big meal.

        My skin doesn’t dry as easily. I no longer feel the need to lotion my hands all the time. Obviously, I drink water during the day but this was the change that started that.

        Everything just felt healthier. I woke up more easily for my 6am start at work.

        Before I started doing that, it sometimes felt like staying hydrated was constant catching up. Now, it’s more just maintaining.
