Around 70% of the human body consists of water which needs to be replaced constantly, and a good way to start your day is to down a big glass of water before doing anything else in the morning. The benefits of drinking water in the morning are many, and this is just added to by continuing to drink water throughout the day.
Our bodies do not have to digest anything during the night hours, and as our muscles and mind are at rest, the heart does not have to pump so hard. Our body uses this time to rid itself of toxins, most of which are exhaled, but others will still be circulating in our body in the morning when we wake.

Some water cooler companies fill the water bottles for their bottled water coolers and mains water coolers with spring water, which really tastes good.
