Benefits of drinking hot water💧

Growing up with my Chinese grandma and mom, I always drank hot water instead of room temperature or cold water. Both of them would talk about all the health benefits of hot water (most of which I presumed to be made up and not backed by science), and while there are limited studies on the effects of hot water in particular, there’s a lot of evidence that hot water does indeed have additional health benefits.

😌 Relieves stress

Much like taking a hot bath, drinking hot water warms your body and improves blood circulation which can soothe your central nervous system.

💦 Removes toxins

Drinking hot water can cause your body to sweat which is a natural way our body gets rid of toxins.

🍽️ Helps with digestion

Drinking water in general helps to keep our digestive system moving, but hot water may help break down food faster than drinking cold or room temperature water.

🤧 May relieve congestion

Hot water may help mucus in your nose and throat clear more quickly. The steam from the hot water can also help clear your sinuses.
