Timing:When wake up
As soon as you get up from bed, head down to the kitchen and drink a cup of water. Alternatively, you can have a cup of water waiting for you right beside your bed. Water is such an important part of a healthier lifestyle and it is especially good for you in the morning. When you drink a cup of water to an empty stomach it purifies your stomach much more efficiently than if you eat something first. It also kick starts a process called haematopaises, which refers to the creation of new blood cells. This is very important, especially for people who suffer from various diseases. On top of this, drinking a cup of water as the first thing in the morning will help you prevent an urge to eat a huge breakfast. Although I’ll give you tips for the healthiest breakfast as well later on, drinking water first will guarantee you won’t end up overeating in the morning. Move onto exercise… Once you’ve enjoyed your cup of water, you need to do a bit of exercise. Don’t worry, you won’t need to wake up hours earlier to get enough done! In fact, you can boost your metabolism and give yourself an energy boost with just a ten-minute workout session. Taking ten minutes each morning is not a lot of time and anyone can do it, I guarantee! I posted these tips on my Facebook earlier and the workout routine is effective and fun. All you need to do is: 50 jumping jacks 10 pushups 20 sit ups 20 bicycles 20 mountain climbers 30 second plank Do this routine three times (even two is enough at the start!) and you will give your body a much needed morning boost. Alternatively, you can try a short ten-minute yoga routine in the morning. For example, this MindBodyGreen article has an amazingly simple and effective routine to start your morning with.
I am a girl and like any other girl in this world I love to look the best of me. Not just make up but without make up too. I have been drinking water early morning but there is something more to it that I unearthed now; "The Water Therapy for Skin"

Hey Sara, I've seen you working hard. So sorry that your heart is causing you trouble. Once confirmed with your doctor you can go through the course "http://www.melearni.ng/courses/52". I am sure this will be helpful However, since you are having health issues I suggest before adapting this lifestyle talk to your doctor about it. And evaluate according to your personal health. Get well soon dear. Jose
Hi Jose, As you suggested, I checked with him, yes he said I need to work out and diet but one that would help me to keep any heart risk at bay. I am joining it right away. Thanks a tonne.
