Drinking water – let’s talk about s***

I must confess, I didn’t have regular bowel movements. But I wasn’t much bothered by it. In fact I was quite glad, coz I saved myself from much daily trouble. And when I travel, I don’t have to worry about irregular bowel movements. Well actually, my bowel movements were quite regular, you know – once every few days.
Ok ok, self-delusion aside, I was told that I’m drinking water in the wrong way. Which resulted in water-bloatedness in my stomach.
Determined to reduce my girth, I followed the well-meaning advice, drinking the same amount of water a day, but just in a different way.


Here are the changes I made to my water-drinking:
1. drink 2 cups of water 1st thing in the morning when I just wake up. Not any other time, but 1st thing in the morning, before consuming anything else.
2. drink the water s-l-o-w-l-y – not gulp it down!
3. and the water shouldn’t be overnight water – alternatively, drink warm water.
4. and drink – I mean, sip – the water BEFORE eating, not after.

And you know what, I immediately noticed I was having regular daily bowel movements. And after 2 weeks, it became a habit – yesterday I didn’t drink my usual 2 cups of warm water in the morning, and I didn’t get my time on the throne…. But hey, at night, I did it! Haha, I was so happy. My bowel’s just getting into the swing of things, and functioning the way it should.

It all started with vanity, but I had health benefits instead.

And yes, my girth is slightly reduced.


Now, imagine if I were to drink from living waters everyday! The right amount, the right way....
it would become natural to be supernatural....
