Here are 10 benefits of drinking hot water
Relieves nasal congestion
The warmth of the water creates steam. Taking deep breaths of this steam while holding a cup of hot water can help loosen clogged sinuses and relieve headaches. Drinking hot water also warms your throat, which can help soothe a sore throat that has become clogged with mucus.
Support digestion
Drinking hot water soothes and activates the digestive tract. As the water moves through the stomach and intestines, the digestive organs become hydrated and can eliminate waste.
Hot water causes the intestines to contract, facilitating the passage of waste from the intestines, reducing constipation.
Calms the central nervous system
Drinking hot water can soothe the central nervous system and lubricate the body, especially for people with arthritis.
Keep your body hydrated
You should start your day and before going to bed with a glass of hot water. Drinking 2 liters of water a day will fully replenish the amount of water needed for the body.
Weight loss support
Hot water helps the intestines contract to eliminate waste, which is beneficial for metabolism and reduces hunger.

When drinking hot water or taking a warm bath, the body's endocrine system is activated, leading to sweating, helping to eliminate toxins and irritants from exposure to the environment.
