We all have been encouraged at one point in time to drink lukewarm water to aid with digestion, weight reduction, and sore throat. Many utilise this cure by drinking it first thing in the morning. 

Some people even add a few drops of lemon to improve Vitamin C levels, while others drink it with honey to reduce weight and fall asleep faster. There are, however, several other health benefits to drinking hot or lukewarm water throughout the day.

Here are some reasons why you should drink hot or lukewarm water-

Stress
You may battle stress by drinking warm water since it is believed to boost the function of the central nervous system, which may result in making you feel less worried. According to one study, drinking less water resulted in lower levels of tranquilly and pleasant feelings. A hydrated body enhances the mood and assists in keeping you calm.

Shivering
Shivering is our body's natural response to chilly weather. In such instances, drinking a hot beverage reduces shivering and keeps the body warm. Research submitted to the National Library of Medicine discovered that participants exposed to colder temperatures and who drank warm water could swiftly maintain their body temperature.

Congestion
The wording is a little different, but it's the same idea. This can give headache relief. The research discovered that, instead of a room-temperature drink, a hot beverage such as tea relieved a runny nose, coughing, and sore throat.
