A New Japanese Water Trend

A new trend is sweeping Japan. It isn't a fashion style or popular boy band, but a morning ritual that is thought to help cure an array of serious diseases. It turns out the treatment is extremely inexpensive and very easy to complete. Here's how it works.

• Step 1: Upon waking, immediately drink 4 glasses of water (about 32 oz).

• Step 2: Brush and rinse your mouth, but try not to consume any liquids or foods for the next 45 minutes.
