Starting your day off with a warm cup of coffee almost seems traditional in a sense. Everyone does it, especially when you need some extra energy in the morning. But is this the right thing to do? Well, you see even though coffee gives you energy and has water in it. You may not want to drink it the first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

This then means that you need to give your body something that will allow it to run the entire day. This is why you need water.

Once you have had a glass of water, you can then move on to drink your delicious cup of coffee.
