Will not affect your cortisol

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Having a few sips of plain water will not affect the 8am cortisol. Do not worry about it. Try and avoid solid foods and other liquids like tea, coffee, etc

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
