Why You Should Drink Warm Water

Ah, nothing quite like the taste and feel of a nice cold glass of water. Or is there?

Well, maybe not in terms of refreshment, but there are multiple health benefits of making warm water part of your daily diet. Let’s examine a few of them.

Aid to Digestion

Start your day with a very warm cup of water and it will flush out built-up toxins. Water, warm or cold, will break down food in your stomach, but warm water does it faster for greater ease of digestion.

Relief from Constipation

What causes constipation in the first place? It’s a lack of water in your body. Once again, warm water will outperform cold water for faster relief.

Pain Relief

Warm water, considered to be nature’s most powerful home remedy, can help alleviate pain from numerous maladies, including menstruation, and headaches, and more. Warm water has a calming effect on abdominal muscles, plus it increases blood flow to the skin to help relax muscle cramps.

Weight Loss

Warm water increases body temperature, which in turn increases the rate of metabolism. In the process, your body will burn more calories than normal while fostering improved gastrointestinal tract and kidney function.

Improved Blood Circulation

Bodily fat deposits along with deposits in the nervous system are purged by warm water. The fewer the deposits, the better your blood can circulate.

Halts Premature Aging

The presence of bodily toxins causes us to age faster, but the process can be slowed via a steady consumption of warm water.

If you can’t get past the taste factor, try adding a slice of lemon or whatever your favorite fruit might be. And be sure not to overheat the water as that can damage tissue in the mouth and esophagus. In fact, play it extra safe by consulting with your doctor before launching into warm water consumption.

Of course, it’s much easier to beef up warm water consumption when your water heater is working to full capacity. If it’s not, contact Best Choice Plumbers for all the assistance you might need.
