Drinking water is beneficial for health, but if it is not drunk in the right way, it can harm your health. So let's know what is the right way to drink water.
How To Drink Water: Often you must have heard from the mouths of elders that one should not drink water while standing, but we avoid listening to it. Whenever I remember, due to paucity of time, I am unable to drink water sitting and drink water standing. But drinking water in this way can harm you. This is not just a thing done in the air, but there is a scientific reason behind it.
Drinking water while standing puts pressure on the esophagus. The water reaches the stomach faster. Because of this, your digestive system can have a bad effect. Even in our Ayurveda, drinking water while standing is said to be harmful to the body. Doctors also advise sitting down and drinking water.
Why should we sit and drink water?
The sitting position is best for drinking water. In this way, water gets digested properly. When a person sits and drinks water, it reaches our cells well. Water goes to the cells and removes the toxins from the body and due to its proper absorption, the blood becomes clean and the body remains healthy.
Why not drink water standing up?
One should not drink water while standing. Drinking water in the wrong way or position can cause many diseases.
kidney failure
Drinking water while standing is harmful to our kidneys because in such situation water does not reach the blood cells properly and impurities increase in the blood. The kidney makes urine by removing bad substances and impurities from the blood. If this waste is more then kidney function increases. Hence there may be kidney-related problems.
Poor digestion 
Drinking water while standing damages the digestive system. This can cause problems in the esophagus. There is a problem of acidity and indigestion. The digestive system remains strong by sitting and drinking water. It does not cause problems related to digestion.
Adverse effect on respiration
Drinking water in this way has a bad effect on the esophagus. By drinking water while standing, oxygen does not reach your food windpipe properly. There is a bad effect on the respiratory system and lungs. This can also cause heart problems.
May cause arthritis problem
Due to drinking water, while standing, the pressure of water passes through your body and stops in the joints, which can have a bad effect on the bones and joints. At the same time, the bones start weakening. In such a situation, due to weak bones, a person may have problems like arthritis.
