Some people say they don’t want to drink before bedtime so they don’t have to get up at night to use the bathroom.
I asked a cardiologist, “Why do people, especially old people, pee so much at night?”
His answer was: “When you stand or sit, the force of gravity holds water in your lower body. This is why legs can swell. When you lie down, your lower body seeks balance with the kidneys. So the kidneys remove the water along with the trash because then it’s easier.”

Water is essential to remove waste from your body.

According to cardiologists, the best time to drink water is best done at well-defined times to maximize efficiency
throughout the body. Here are the optimum times

• Drink two glasses of water right after waking up to activate internal organs.
• One glass of water 30 minutes before each meal will help improve digestion.
• One glass of water before taking a bath (or shower) will lower blood pressure.
• One glass of water before going to bed, will prevent a stroke or heart attack.
• Drink water before bed TO avoid leg cramps during the night. (Your leg muscles, when you have cramps, are seeking water and moisture.)
