How To Drink Water Right Way: In modern lifestyle, most people prefer to drink water from a bottle instead of a glass. Often people drink water while standing, although doing so is not considered good for health. Ayurveda experts believe that drinking water while standing or lying down can spoil our digestive system and cause stomach related problems. If you also drink water from a bottle while standing while walking, then you need to be careful. Not drinking water in the right position can spoil your health and you can become vulnerable to many serious diseases. This should be avoided.
Dr. Sarvesh Kumar, Ayurvedacharya of Ayurvedic College and Hospital, Lucknow According to this, everyone should sit and drink water slowly from the glass. In Ayurveda, drinking water while standing or lying down is considered harmful for health. Drinking water while standing can cause problems ranging from kidneys, lungs to digestion. If you have any kidney related problem, then do not make the mistake of drinking water while standing. Doing this can cause serious damage to your kidneys. This is the reason why Ayurveda has advised to drink water slowly while sitting comfortably. People should not drink water even while lying down.
According to Ayurveda experts, drinking water while standing can also cause harm to people’s joints. Adopting this habit for a long time can make you a knee patient and you may have to face painful diseases like arthritis. There is tension in people’s body while standing and drinking water during this period seriously spoils the fluid balance in the body. This can cause knee problems. Generally drinking water is considered good for stomach health, but drinking water while standing can spoil the digestive system. When people drink water while standing, the water goes down rapidly and reaches the lower part of the stomach. This causes damage to the digestive system.
