The benefits of water aren’t any mystery to us. However, warm water has added benefits which include relieving nasal congestion, keeping us hydrated and many more. Here are a few benefits of warm water.
* Relieves Nasal Congestion
The mucus membranes in your throat get cleared as you drink hot/warm water. It soothes a sore throat and when the steam given out from hot water is inhaled, it helps in loosening clogged sinuses. Thus, it relieves nasal congestion.
* Keeps You Hydrated
May it be warm or cold water, it refreshes you and keeps you hydrated . It is important to keep yourself hydrated as it keeps fatigue away, maintains skin health and ensures smooth functioning of the body’s systems. Water is essential to every system in your body for it to work well and keep you healthy.
* Weight-Loss
Drinking warm water leads to your body bringing its temperature down in order to compensate for the higher temperature of the warm water. This renders to a faster metabolism. A faster metabolism ensures faster burning of fats and calories thus, aiding in weight-loss.
* Reduces Toxin Levels
Drinking hot water reduces your body’s temperatures. However, it temporarily increases your internal temperature just before it drops for a while. The endocrine system gets activated and the increase of your body’s internal temperature makes you sweat. Sweating is an excellent method to get rid of toxins and fats.

Warm water stabilizes the central nervous system and calms it down. Hence, drinking warm/hot water is helpful in reducing stress levels.
