Most of us jumpstart our day by drinking hot coffee or tea, but experts have discovered that sipping warm water can actually improve our health.
Warm water, when drank in an empty stomach in the morning, offers a number of health benefits.
Considered as nature’s most powerful home remedy, warm water, when regularly consumed particularly in the morning, can heal our bodies, give digestive power and eliminate metabolic waste that could have possibly built up in our immune system.
“Physicians recommend drinking warm water in the morning, usually, with a polyphenol-rich lemon immersion, or with a tea shown to decrease free radical activity in the body,” said Stella Metsovas, a health expert in Food and Nutrition Sciences.
Here are the surprising reasons why you should start your day with warm water.

Toxins in our body can lead to faster ageing. Fortunately, warm water can help eliminate these toxins while repairing our skin cells to increase elasticity. To halt the negative effects of ageing, drink warm water, either plain or with a lemon, every morning.
2. It keeps the digestive system on track
Drinking water and other liquids can help break down the food in your stomach, but drinking warm water speeds up the process, making digestion easier. Instead of drinking cold water during or after a meal, which actually hardens the oil in consumed food, replace it with warm water.
3. It sheds excess pounds.

4. It enhances blood circulation.
Elminate deposits in the nervous system and flush out toxins circulating throughout the body by drinking warm water. This in turn will eliminate poor blood flow and circulation.
5. It induces sleep.
Not only does drinking warm water make your body relaxed, it also induces sleep by preventing midnight cravings.
6. It helps improve bowel movement.
