Why Drink Warm Water? A Very Simplistic Explanation...


Our bodies are constantly undergoing chemical reactions in order to function. As you know, these chemical reactions require energy. The more the heat, the faster the reaction. So, if you drink cold water, you are actually slowing down these reactions and, hence, your metabolism. Conversely, if you're drinking warm water, you're speeding them up and, hence, speeding up your metabolism.

Remember, a rule of thumb is to drink half your body weight in ounces of pure water...and preferably warm.
