In Ayurveda, the strength of your digestive system is based on how much Agni you have. Agni translates to 'Digestive Fire'. If you are drinking cold water it is cooling to your system and lowers your 'fire' whereas when you drink something hot, it is adding to the fire.According to Ayurveda expert Kamsella Naidoo, drinking 2 sips of hot water an hour is enough for you to see a difference. Drinking hot water improves your digestion (which could also lead to weight loss!), calms your nervous system and can also be a good replacement for caffeine containing drinks like coffee and black tea.
You can sip hot water throughout the day and can also sip hot water while eating your meals. Lemon can also be added for a different taste. Adding Lemon is alkaline for your body and also naturally detoxifies your system.
Other benefits of drinking hot water:
- Keeps you hydrated and warm in the winter
- Natural detoxification for the stomach and digestive system
- A good aid in reducing food cravings between meals (if you are trying to loose weight)
