Drinking water in the morning is highly beneficial for the body, but consuming an excessive amount in one go can strain the circulatory system.
The Mechanism of Risk: Drinking a large volume of water in a short period rapidly increases the volume of blood circulating in the body, which increases the load on the heart. For individuals with pre-existing cardiovascular problems, this acute load can trigger symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, or even a stroke.
The Safe Practice: It is best to limit your initial water intake to a small amount, about 200–300 ml. Always drink in small sips rather than gulping, and make sure you maintain hydration steadily throughout the day.
