You’ve heard it: “Drink water first thing to flush out toxins!” Yeah, that’s mostly a myth. Your liver and kidneys are already brilliant detox machines—they don’t need a water-powered wake-up call. They’ve been working all night, thank you very much. So you can safely ignore those claims and just hydrate in a way that doesn’t hurt.
In fact, stressing yourself out by forcing water when it hurts might actually be worse for you. Stress can mess up digestion big time. So if your stomach is saying “no,” listen to it. It’s smarter than any wellness influencer.
