Did you know:- drinking hot water can benefit you. This is what I just read today. It is said that hot water increases blood circulation and helps decrease complications associated with cramps and indigestion. It washes away the coldness clogged up in one’s body, and thus eases pain. But it’s no doubt that any type of water can provide your body with hydration, which helps your kidney flush waste products and toxins from your body and provides a medium for all of the biochemical and metabolic processes in your body. Above all we must mention that hot water helps you increase your body temperature and also the metabolic rate, while increased metabolic rate makes your body use more calories, helps your stomach and intestines stimulate. Drinking hot water helps you to keep fit. According to the traditional Chinese medicine, healthy is due to an internal balance of Yin and Yang. In the Yin-Yang theory, water is Yin-type while hot stuff is Yang-type, drinking hot water can enrich Yin and tonify Yang in your body, it keeps Yin and Yang in equilibrium.
If you have cold symptoms or other Yin-type imbalances such as frequent chills, thirst, depression, sleepiness, bloating or retention of fluids, hot water plays the role of the Yang and brings your body back into balance. Doctors of traditional Chinese medicine always tell patients to drink more hot water, they call it method of resolving exterior. (The other day I started getting a sore throat and because I am now in the habit of drinking hot water, by the morning it had gone.)
On the basis of traditional Chinese medicine, drinking a glass of warm water in the morning helps kick-start the digestive system. Warm water or hot water stimulates blood circulation, helps detoxify your body and promotes your digestive system.
(I find this very interesting as I began drinking hot water several weeks ago and I have found that my Hiatus hernia has not been playing up.) I also feel great. I like to drink it whilst it is just hot enough not to burn me. Worth giving it a try.
