When you drink water, do you consider your
posture and how this has an impact on you? Its
unlikely, but you should. Ayurveda is about
ensuring the body works in harmony, which is why
you shouldnt stand when youre drinking water.

Its vital to keep hydrated. However, we dont
tend to give much thought to water when were
drinking it. But, as any practitioner of Ayurveda
will tell you, your posture is pivotal. If you
stand when you consume water, your nerves are
going to be in a state of tension. Whats known
as the fight system, i.e. the sympathetic system,
is then activated. Standing up and drinking water
is closely linked to the speed at which you drink
the water. The speed is essential, and standing
up accelerates the speed the water is consumed
at. This is when joint damage, arthritis and
similar problems come into play. If you take any
Ayurveda courses, youll learn about having a
lifestyle thats in harmony with nature.
