5 Surprising Benefits of Drinking Warm Water in the Morning

Amy Taylor August 17, 2016

What’s the first beverage you indulge in every morning? While a cup of hot coffee or warm tea sounds like a great idea, you may want to drink water first - warm water in particular. Doing this very easy morning routine can change your health significantly and lead to amazing results.

Weight Loss

Topping the list is its effect on your weight. It is interesting to know how a simple health tweak such as drinking warm water first thing in the morning can greatly help you lose weight. But it’s true. Warm water increases your body temperature which in turn boosts your metabolism. Having good metabolism allows your body to burn more calories in a much faster way. If you put lemon in your warm water, you also help your body burn adipose tissue - the harmful fats that bulge in your stomach. Health experts also recommend lemon water to curb food cravings as it contain pectin fibre which increases your satiety levels.

Better Digestion

You know that water improves your digestive health. And what could be a better way to prepare your tummy for another day of work and eat than to nourish it with water first? Drinking warm water in the morning stimulates your digestive system and helps you digest and eliminate food easily. Cold water solidifies the fats and oil you eat, making it difficult for your digestive tract to eliminate them. So you may want to drink less cold water and more warm water. A glass or two of warm water in the morning can also help relieve constipation.

Improved Blood Flow

This daily morning routine helps improve blood circulation in the same way it helps boost your digestive health - by making it easier for your body to eliminate fats which often block the flow of blood throughout your body. At the same time, drinking warm water in the morning (before eating anything) aids in the elimination of free radicals that hamper blood flow as well. Another thing, hydrating your body will loosen up and relax your muscles which make blood circulation a lot better.

Better Sleep

As much as you want to drink warm water in the morning for its health benefits, you also want to end your day with it. That is because this calms your body, preparing you for a deep slumber. It also prevents midnight food cravings and make you feel more refreshed in the morning.

Anti-ageing Benefits

The presence of free radicals in your body promotes ageing. Warm water does its amazing job of clearing these toxins from your system. It also helps repair skin cells, leaving you with a moisturised and glowing skin.

Of course, you don’t want to just drink water in the morning. You want to aim increasing your water intake throughout the day. It’s a good habit that you can easily develop. It is super simple, free, and so good for your body!
