What Happened When I Started Drinking Warm Water Before Breakfast for 30 Days

  What Happened When I Started Drinking Warm Water Before Breakfast for 30 Days I had heard of the benefits of drinking warm water in the morning, but I always brushed it off as just another wellness trend. That changed when I decided to try it for myself—every single day, for 30 days straight. No lemon, no honey, just a cup of plain warm water before breakfast.

I often felt bloated and sluggish and had irregular digestion. I realized I needed to change how I started my day.

Why I Switched to a Morning Walk Routine – and How It Changed My Health

  Why I Switched to a Morning Walk Routine—and How It Changed My Health For years, I had convinced myself that I just wasn't a "morning person." The thought of waking up early to exercise felt like an impossible task—until life forced me to rethink everything. After struggling with fatigue, stress, and stubborn weight gain, I decided to try something simple but consistent: a 30-minute morning walk. How It All Began It started during a stressful season at work. I was overwhelmed, glued to my laptop, and barely sleeping. One morning, I woke up earlier than usual and stepped outside just to clear my mind—and something changed. The quiet stillness of the early hours, the chirping of birds, and the fresh air felt surprisingly healing. That short walk turned into a daily habit and, over time, a life-changing ritual. The Physical Benefits I Didn't Expect After just two weeks of walking every morning, I noticed a real difference in my body: Increased energy level...
