I've met some people who told me that the health practices which they practice as "delegated" to them is to drink a glass of cold water after waking in the morning before the mouth wash.They believe this to be one of the reasons they are healthy. 

Recently - I read about one widow of President Sukarno muchi, famous dn pretty healthy until her old age. Also revealed that one of her lifelong practice is to drink water (plain water) after getting up in the morning before dessert.

It seems indeed this practice has long been practiced by many people from different nations and cultures. What I want to touch on here is this aspect of the practice of science.

What are the benefits of cool water to drink in the morning before your mouth washed out?

To understand the nutritional value, please note that in our bodies there is a molecular which is extremely important for health, namely Nitric Oxide (NO). NO Act of controlling blood pressure, as a neurotransmitter, anti-aging, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatori and more important role.

There are many ways to God the Creator, gives NO to us, his creatures. One way is to have bacteria - certain bacteria in the mouth and nose that produces NO naturally, especially when we sleep.NO that resulted was accumulated in the saliva that was generated during our sleep, among others.

Reference: Jose Miguel Chatkin, MD; Wei Qian, MD; Patricia A. McClean, MSc; et al Noe Zamel, MD; James Haight, MD; Phillip Silkoff, MD. Accumulation of Nitric Oxide in the Nasal Cavity Nonventilated. Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 1999; 125 (6): 682-685.

So when we wake up and drink cold water, NO in the saliva we were taken to our stomachs empty and absorbed into our blood circulation. NO is very important for our health, especially heart health.

By then, it was unwise to practice any form of gargle with mouthwash for those who do not have any mouth disease but just to give you bad breath refreshing.Mouthwash and mouthwash will eliminate all bacteria maker of NO in the oral cavity.

If there is a particular need and directed by a physician, can be used mouthwash dessert. May God be sharing this helpful.
