8 ADVANTAGES OF DRINKING WARM WATER

Water is compulsory and a critical component in healthy living.

While any water is better than no water, warm water, particularly on an empty stomach, will do more than just quench your thirst.

Here are eight benefits of drinking a warm cup of water instead of a glass of ice water.

Warm water first thing in the morning will “kick start your metabolism” and help burn away fatty tissue. If a plain glass of hot water seems unappealing to you, you can also add lemon for an extra boost.

Shed weight

If you are trying to shed a few kilos, then endeavour to drink a glass of hot water and lemon in the morning. Besides this, hot water will also help to break down the body fat.

Warm water helps to break down and flush out oils from foods. Having warm water in the morning on an empty stomach also helps to stay regular, dissolve things you’ve eaten that your body might have had difficulty digesting.
