When to drink cold and when to drink warm water?

Let's start with the most important thing: too much cold water is just as harmful as too much hot or even boiling water. That's why we need to pay special attention to the temperature of water we drink.

Exercise, greater physical effort
After any physical activity, the body cools itself by sweating. So if you drink a glass of cold water during a workout, the organism cools down and the body gets rehydrated. It should be emphasized that cold water means just a few degrees cooler than room temperature.

Fever
In case of fever, it’s also better to drink cold water, rather than hot. This also applies to teas. Hot teas are not suitable during a fever. Since a lot of electrolytes are lost through sweating when you have a fever, it is recommended to add a little lemon and a pinch of sea salt to your water in such cases.

Weight Loss
Cold water will boost your metabolism and help you lose 70 calories (the effect of one glass). If you want to lose weight with water, you can drink a glass of cold water every 2 hours at the minimum.

Digestion
Warm water in the morning on an empty stomach speeds up digestion. With this, the body cleanses itself and gets rid of toxins. A glass of warm water on an empty stomach is an investment in health. In addition, after every meal it is always good to drink a glass of warm water, as this will help the body process food faster, easier, and more efficiently.

Against pain
If you are suffering from a headache or any other inflammation, it is good to drink warm water, which among other things, improves blood circulation. Warm water also helps with menstrual discomfort.

Constipation
In cases of constipation, warm water on an empty stomach is the best solution. The warm water should not be more than 5 degrees warmer than room temperature.

Detoxification
If you add a little lemon juice, cucumber, mint, apple and/or cinnamon to warm water, such a drink will have a cleansing effect. Interestingly, you can enrich your water with just one of these ingredients, but it is even better if you use the healing power of all mentioned ones.
