Health Benefits of Drinking Hot Water

Hey everyone, in this post I am going to discuss the health benefits of drinking hot water, I think it will be a great way to add onto my post about drinking enough water throughout the day. In the last couple of days I have started to drink hot water regularly and have noticed immense health benefits. This got me thinking, are there actually any health benefits to drinking hot water?

After a little research and self-reflection, I found it very simple to list an abundance of reasons why everyone should drink hot water. To start, I realized that it facilitates my intermittent fasting tremendously, sipping on hot water warms the body and in turn, leaves me feeling satisfied and better able to fight off food cravings. I am also an avid coffee drinker and most of the time, drinking coffee on an empty stomach irritates more than it rejuvenates. Substituting hot water for coffee has been a great change, I have been meaning to take coffee out of my diet but was unable to find a replacement.

Rather than list all of the health perks you will feel from drinking hot water, I am going tell you the three benefits I find most important.

1). Improved Blood Circulation

As you drink hot water, your arteries and blood vessels will expand allowing better circulation throughout the body. Overtime, better circulation means for overall better health and improved body and muscle function.

2). Slow Down Aging

Similar to taking a hot shower, hot water will open up pores on the skin which will prevent wrinkles and the process of aging. As the body detoxifies germs and bacteria, the natural healing process is actually sped up which means for better cellular regeneration.

3). Healthier Hair

One of the main reasons for hair loss and dry hair is actually dehydration, drinking hot water will rejuvenate the roots of your hair. As hair follicles become healthier, you will start to grow healthier, shinier hair.
