We all know water is one of the healthiest drinks available to us but there are some valuable benefits from having a glass before you go to sleep each night. Drinking a glass of water before bed allows your body to stabilise its hormone levels as well as its vitamin and nutrient levels. Joints and muscles also become balanced in this process and so having water before bed allows the body to restore itself naturally. The cool water will allow your body to relax instead of working harder to replenish your necessary nutrients. By doing so, you are provided with a full night of rest.

Drinking warm water before bed will keep you hydrated through the night and may help the body to rid unwanted toxins. It may also help to relieve pain or cramping in the stomach. If plain water is too bland or if you’re trying to beat a cold, try adding lemon or lime to your water before bed for a pleasant flavour. Vitamin C from the lemon boosts your immune system and helps fight any infections.
