drinking water on empty stomach?

[kyuss]

hello, i was curios, is there any reason for or against the drinking of water on a empty stomach. its something i do almost every morning when i wake up, and i googled around the web and some say its ok while others said:

Whereas in Stomach, these two acids are separated by the stuff called mucous gel from the stomach to protect it from external forces. When we take more water in the empty stomach it dilutes these two acids, and in turn converts to toxins which become useless for digestion. It can also disturb the mucous gel due to which it leads to ulcer and acidity.

not sure if that is a reliable source or not

i dont expect it to cure all diseases, but would it cause any stomach upset? sometimes i get it other times i dont

thanks

I can tell you confidently that consuming water on an empty stomach is nothing less than beneficial to your body. It is true that water-consumption on an empty stomach increases pH, however, it is not true that this effect results in ulceration formation on the stomach lining. In actuality, your stomach is significantly more at risk to while your stomach is empty due to extreme acidity. In further reply to your discussed quote, little to no digestion occurs in the stomach anyway and the dilution caused to the stomach due to drinking water actually increases health, stomach comfort, and digestion ease.

In short, continue to drink water everyday when you wake up it is a habit many people do not incorporate into their routine due to schedule or appetite and is highly beneficial to your health.
