According to those "in the know", cold water is out and sipping on hot water is in. The movement has exploded in popularity thanks to social media, with health fanatics adopting traditional Chinese wellness habits specifically to aid digestion. Fans are swearing that it has helped them to flush their bodies, remove toxins and lose weight. Now, medical experts have debunked the myth……to an extent. They explained that drinking water is important to the body, regardless of temperature. One of the many benefits of warm water is that it might be easier for your stomach to digest. However, they say the rumored benefits — such as boosting immunity or detoxing the body — are simply not true and have never been proven by any scientific studies. Warm water does have benefits, such as helping with symptoms of a dry sore throat, steam from warm water alleviating nasal congestion, relieving constipation, and promoting relaxation before bed, but it’s not, as social media claims, a cure-all.
