✔ Boosts metabolism
✔ Flushes toxins
✔ Improves digestion
✔ Enhances skin health

But how much of this is scientifically proven?

Debunking Common Myths

❌ Myth 1: Morning Water “Detoxes” Your Body
Fact: Your liver and kidneys work around the clock to remove toxins. While water supports these organs, a single morning glass isn’t a magic detox solution.

❌ Myth 2: It Kickstarts Your Metabolism
Fact: Drinking water can temporarily boost metabolism by 24–30% for about 90 minutes, but this effect isn’t limited to the morning—it can happen anytime.

❌ Myth 3: You Wake Up Severely Dehydrated
Fact: Unless you sleep in extreme heat or sweat excessively, overnight dehydration is usually mild. A glass of water helps, but it’s not an emergency.
