People adopt many methods to stay fit. Japanese water therapy has also been trending all over the world for the last few days. Japanese people have been following it for a long time and it is believed that it has a direct effect on digestion, weight loss and skin health. In this therapy, it is advised to drink several glasses of lukewarm water on an empty stomach as soon as you wake up in the morning.

Usually people drink tea or coffee as soon as they wake up, but in this therapy, one has to drink 4 to 5 glasses (about 650-700 ml) of water without eating anything as soon as one wakes up from sleep. After this, one does not eat anything for at least 45 minutes. It is being claimed that this therapy provides many health benefits. So let us know in this article today whether Japanese water therapy is really effective? What are its advantages and disadvantages.

Japanese water therapy is an ancient health tradition that people in Japan have been practicing for years. The main purpose of this therapy is to clean the body from inside and improve digestion by drinking water on an empty stomach as soon as you wake up in the morning. In this, the day is started with 4 to 5 glasses of lukewarm water. After this, nothing is eaten for about 45 minutes. It is believed that this therapy helps in flushing out toxins from the body, speeding up metabolism and improving skin and digestion.

Although, there is a belief in India for centuries to drink water after waking up in the morning. However, very few people follow it in India. But in Japan, most people are following it. This is the reason why it has come to be known as Japanese water therapy. According to research, drinking water early in the morning removes toxins from the body, speeds up metabolism and improves digestion. Water activates the cells of the body and improves the function of the organs. In the report of Healthline, some important things related to Japanese therapy have been told, which are as follows.

According to Healthline, the Japan Medical Association claims that adopting this therapy regularly for a few weeks can improve high blood pressure, diabetes, constipation, gas and other health problems. However, there is no scientific evidence regarding this.

• Drinking water on an empty stomach in the morning can provide relief from problems like constipation and gas.
• Helps in weight loss as it can speed up the fat burning process by increasing metabolism.
• Due to better hydration, the skin glows and the problem of dark circles or acne is reduced.
• Water helps in flushing out the internal toxins from the body.
• Starting the day with a hydrated body makes you feel less tired.

People who have health conditions like kidney problems, heart disease or water retention should adopt this therapy only after consulting a doctor. Drinking too much water at once can cause water toxicity in some cases.

Japanese water therapy can help you lose weight because it reduces your daily calorie intake. First of all, if you start drinking only water instead of sweet drinks like fruit juice or cold drinks, your calorie intake automatically reduces and that too by hundreds of calories every day.

Apart from this, in this therapy a fixed time is fixed for eating. Like every meal has to be finished in just 15 minutes, and after that nothing can be eaten for two hours. This also controls the quantity of food and reduces calories. Also, drinking more water makes the stomach feel full, which reduces hunger and you eat less food. However, research has come up with mixed data on this matter. Like some studies have shown good results of weight loss by drinking water, while some did not find any significant difference.
