IMPROVED DIGESTION

Drinking water while sitting aids digestion by allowing your body to fully focus on absorbing nutrients without the strain of standing.

REDUCED RISK OF CHOKING

Sitting promotes slower and safer swallowing, reducing the risk of choking compared to standing or lying down.

REGULATED BLOOD PRESSURE

Drinking water in a seated position helps maintain stable blood pressure levels compared to standing, aiding cardiovascular health.

ENHANCED ABSORPTION

Sitting enables better absorption of water by allowing it to reach your stomach and digestive system efficiently.

IMPROVED KIDNEY FUNCTION

Optimal hydration from seated water intake supports kidney function, aiding in toxin elimination and overall health.

REDUCED ACID REFLUX

Sitting while drinking water reduces the likelihood of acid reflux by preventing stomach acid from flowing back into the oesophagus.
