Drinking hot water is said to be good for your health. Drinking this protects the body from a variety of illnesses and gets detoxed well. However, the water flowing from the tap is not pure. When you come into touch with microplastic, it might be hazardous to your health. This can cause major health hazards. According to a new study, boiling water is the most effective way to clean it and reduce the risk of microplastics. Simply boiling water for 5 minutes can remove up to 80% of tiny plastic particles. Let’s take a look at some other ways how drinking hot water may benefit you.
1. Helps in digestion
Water consumption keeps the digestive system working. The body can better remove waste when the water passes through your intestines and stomach. Some people believe that boosting the digestive system is most helpful when one drinks hot water.
2. Can improve nervous system function
Poor water intake, whether hot or cold, can have a negative effect on your nervous system’s functioning, changing mood and brain function. According to research from 2019, consuming water can boost both central nervous system function and mood.
3. Reduces shivering in the cold
A 2017 study found that, while the body’s natural response to low temperatures is to shiver, consuming warm drinks can help prevent shivering. Researchers found that consuming hot water quickly allowed individuals to put less effort into controlling their body temperature. According to the study, this might be beneficial for those who work in cold weather.
