Is Hot Water Good for Weight Loss?

There are subtle but definite and deep changes in the body that result from the use of warm or hot water which definitely supports one’s weight loss journey.

Hot water consumption is a nice easy routine with no added calories and costs and it has a positive effect on digestion, satiety, and detoxification—three of the most important elements of a weight loss plan work well together.

The Satiety and Metabolism Connection

Firstly and mainly the two paths leading to the positive management of weight through drinking hot water are those of the body before and after meals:

Increase of Satiety (Feeling Full): About half an hour prior to a meal, a glass of warm water without any additives is very likely to lead to a temporary filling of the stomach, thus leading to a natural reduction of calorie intake during the meal. It is an easy-to-apply method to ensuring the calorie deficit indispensable for weight loss.

Very Small Metabolic Increase: The small increase in metabolic rate (calorie burning) in the body is due to the fact the body overheating the water to core temperature uses energy that is suggestive in a few studies where drinking water is involved whether it is hot or cold. However in the case of hot water (which is much closer to body temperature) this effect is almost negligible hence its impact on satiety would be the main one.

Aid to Digestion and Detoxification

Most people agree hot water helps digestion and hence an indirect fat loss method can be safe to say that this is in line with the author's view.

Regular consumption of warm water may also assist in the process of digestion and fat/ oil removal in the intestines and therefore promote smooth bowel movements. The latter is important not only to getting rid of the uncomfortable feeling of being bloated but also for absorbing nutrients effectively as well.

Alleviated Bloating: A considerable number of people misinterpret bloating for actual weight gain. Hot water can vibe with your body as a mild vasodilator that allows for a better blood flow and opens up the muscles in the digestive tract thereby relaxing cramps and the feeling of heaviness which usually accompanies slow digestion

Simple Tip: Maximize Your Hot Water Intake

To make drinking hot water a sustainable habit, try these simple additions:

Remember to ensure the water is comfortably warm, not scalding hot, to avoid injury.

In Conclusion

In a nutshell, hot water facilitates weight loss through enhancing satiety, and aiding digestion as well as being an easy means of replacing high-calorie intake rather than directly burning fat. Drinking it is among those little-zero calorie habits which make treatment of the overall diet not only manageable but also less ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌tiresome.
