[www.keralites.net] Fwd: 10 Amazing Health Benefits of Simple Warm Water

 

Bet You Never Knew Warm Water Was This Beneficial!   It's essential to drink water, as it helps flush out dangerous toxins from your body. To add to this, it gives you soft and young-looking skin. In fact, starting the day off by drinking a glass of water is a routine that many people who are conscious about their health follow without fail. This is a very good habit to have, but it's important to know whether you should be drinking cold or warm water. A lot of physicians recommend drinking a glass of warm water as it has many health benefits and can help alleviate certain ailments. Below are 10 health benefits of drinking warm water. 1. Relieves Constipation   Drinking warm water on an empty stomach can help regulate bowel movements and fight constipation. Constipation occurs when there is a low water content in the intestines - this lack of water causes the stools to dry out and makes them much more difficult to pass. The warm water will decompose any remnant food and will make bowel movements smooth and less painful. Too add to this, it will also reduce the abdominal bloating, pain and discomfort that is associated with constipation. To fight constipation, drink a glass of warm water every morning on an empty stomach. For added benefits, add lemon or honey to it before drinking. 2. Improves Digestion To improve your digestion, start drinking warm water regularly. Tepid water stimulates the digestive gland and helps break down food in your stomach so that your digestive system does not have to work so hard - this helps save energy. Furthermore, it helps get rid of any excess stomach acids as well as neutralizing digestive juices. If you suffer from poor digestion you should start and end your day with a glass of warm water. 3. Soothes Sore Throat Warm water helps dissolve thick mucus and removes it from the respiratory tract. In addition to warm water, you can also drink other warm liquids such as herbal teas. Furthermore, to treat a sore throat, you can gargle with a glass of warm water mixed with half a teaspoon of salt. 4. Treats Nasal Congestion Warm water is a great remedy for nasal congestion as it helps cleanse the nasal cavities, bringing instant relief. When you drink warm water, it loosens any mucus buildup in your respiratory tracts and nasal cavities, which decreases the possibility of any viruses or bacteria being able to grow there. 5. Shed Excess Pounds   Those who are following a strict diet and exercise regime for weight loss will benefit greatly from drinking a glass of warm water. This is because warm water increases core body temperature, which in turn increases metabolic rate. An increase in metabolic rate results in more calories being burned. Warm water even helps break down fatty deposits in the body. 6. Detoxifies Your Body Warm water cleanses your body by flushing out dangerous toxins. When you drink warm water, it leads to an increase in your body temperature. Therefore, you start sweating to cool down - sweating helps remove any trapped toxins from your body. Furthermore, warm water also detoxifies your skin, thereby decreasing your risk of skin-related ailments such as acne breakouts and skin blemishes. For better results, add some lemon juice to a glass of warm water before drinking it. 7. Alleviates Menstrual Cramps Drinking warm water can help alleviate menstrual cramps as it relaxes the contracting muscles in the uterus, which in turn will give you instant relief from cramps and muscle spasms. Furthermore, it will prevent your body from retaining water and prevent painful bloating during menstruation. 8. Improves Blood Circulation    Warm water helps improve blood circulation - this is important as blood delivers vital oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and organs. When you drink hot water, the body's fat deposits burn and any built up deposits in the nervous system are also broken down. This improves blood circulation and flushes out toxins. Avoid drinking very cold water, as this closes up your veins and decreases blood circulation. 9. Slows Down Aging Warm water is good for your skin and it removes all those toxins that are responsible for premature aging and various health problems. Also, warm water helps to repair skin cells, rejuvenate your skin and improves elasticity. Add some lemon juice to the warm water to enhance its detoxifying power. 10. Induces Sleep If you're finding it difficult to get to sleep, sipping on some warm water before bed can work a treat. The warm water increase your body temperature, which then relaxes your body, soothes your nerves, and makes you sleepy. Additional Notes Always drink warm water, as drinking hot water can damage the tissues in your mouth and esophagus. After boiling water, give it a few minutes to cool down. Always drink warm water when eating food. If you drink cold water, your body needs more energy to increase its temperature, which detracts from the process of digestion. Don't drink warm water after exercising, as your body's temperature is already high.
