Is There a Right Time to Drink Water?

Water is very essential to our health.

The human body comprises around 60% water. And it’s commonly recommended that you drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day (the 8×8 rule). But, did you know there are actually specific times during the day that are the right time to drink water? In fact, drinking water at those times can even boost your overall health and cognitive functioning.
