Jala (Water) is called life of the living organism as any organism cannot live without water. Usahpana (drinking lukewarm water in early morning) is essential for healthy life. It stimulates the peristaltic movements of the GIT and removes constipation. Drinking water in early morning digests the food taken at night.
