10 health effects of drinking warm water
What are the health effects of drinking
warm water?
⇨ For centuries, practitioners of Eastern medicine have recommended beginning the day with a glass of hot water (roughly 120° to 140° F) to kick-start the metabolism.
Drinking water, hot or cold, keeps your body healthy and hydrated. Some people claim that hot water specifically can help improve digestion, relieve congestion, and even promote relaxation, compared with drinking cold water. Most health benefits of hot water are based on anecdotal reports, as there’s little scientific research in this area. That said, many people feel benefits from this remedy, especially first thing in the morning or right before bed.
When drinking hot beverages, research[1]recommends an optimal temperature of between 130 and 160°F (54 and 71°C). Temperatures above this can cause burns or scalds. I think that most of us know by now that water is essential to our survival. We’ve probably also all heard doctors say that drinking roughly eight glasses a day is ideal.
However, what most people don’t know is
that warm water and hot water have some exclusive benefits of their own that
you just can’t get when you drink water cold.
1.May Relieve Nasal Congestion A cup of
hot water creates steam. Holding a cup of hot water and taking a deep inhale of
this gentle vapor may help loosen clogged sinuses and even relieve a sinus
headache.
2.Achalasia Achalasia is a condition during
which your esophagus has trouble moving food down into your stomach.
People with achalasia have trouble
swallowing.
They may feel as though foods get stuck
in their esophagus instead of moving to the stomach. This is called dysphagia.
3.May help relieve Constipation
Dehydration is a common cause of constipation.
In many cases, drinking water is an
effective way to relieve and prevent constipation.
4.Weight loss According to experts, hot
water consumption in the morning preps your gut for the rest of the day and may
contribute to weight loss.
Specifically, it clears the intestines,
prevents bloating, and gets rid of excess water weight via contraction of the
bowels.
5.Keeps you hydrated Although some
evidence[7]shows that cool water is best for rehydration, drinking water at any
temperature will help keep you hydrated.
The Institute of Medicine
recommends[8]that women get 78 ounces (2.3 liters) of water each day and that
men get 112 ounces (3.3 liters) daily.
6.Better digestion
7.Reduces shivering in the cold
8.Body Detoxification
9.Mood
10.Muscle relief
Drinking hot water increases blood flow, helping your muscles to relax, whereas drinking cold water causes them to contract. This muscle relaxation can aid with a wide range of pains, from menstrual cramps to arthritis. Well, the heat of the water has a calming and soothing effect on the abdominal muscles, which eventually can help to cure cramps and spasms. It can also help you sleep.
Drinking water that’s too hot can damage
the tissue in your esophagus, burn your taste buds, and scald your tongue.
Be very careful when drinking hot water.
Drinking cool, not hot, water is best for rehydration.
