Drinking water while standing may not be the best practice, primarily due to potential negative effects on your kidneys and overall hydration.
Here's why:
- Kidney Strain: When you drink water standing, it passes through the system quickly without proper filtration. This unfiltered water accumulation in the bladder can strain the kidneys.
- Thirst Inadequacy: Drinking while standing may not effectively quench your thirst, leaving you feeling dehydrated even after consuming water. This is because the water isn't absorbed as efficiently.
Therefore, it is generally recommended to drink water while sitting to allow for optimal filtration and hydration.
