Some like it HOT!
HOT WATER
Hot Water triggers a body-wide detox.
When cellular levels of toxins rise, your body concentrates them in the liver, lymph system, intestines and skin in an effort to speed their excretion.1
Problem is, the stored toxins end up slowing down metabolism. To the rescue: hot water. By flooding the GI tract with heat, it promotes peristalsis- muscle contractions that encourage the movement of toxins from the liver and lymph system into the digestive tract, stimulating their elimination from the body. Toxins also evaporate through opened pores.2
LUKEWARM WATER
Lukewarm Water suppresses appetite.
When lukewarm water enters the stomach, the organ registers fullness more quickly than with hot or cold water. "Lukewarm water doesn't set off the drastic hot/cold alarm signals in the brain, so it's easier to gulp down a full glass."2 This action causes the stomach to expand rapidly, stimulating the brain's vagus nerve to turn off hunger pangs.
Room-temperature water is also more rapidly absorbed by the stomach lining, so it doesn't stall the digestive process the way liquids of other temperatures can. The result: a quicker stabilization of blood sugar-which shuts down food cravings.
COLD WATER
Water Water gives your body a workout.
Your metabolic rate jumps as much as 3 percent within 10 minutes of finishing a glass of cold water, and it stays elevated for 30 minutes thereafter.3
The reason: Your digestive tract has to work harder to heat cold water before the water can be absorbed and used by cells.
This process takes an enormous amount of energy, which your body derives by breaking down food and fat to release their stored calories.
Jeanne Onken opted for LA Weight Loss, but drank 64 ounces of water a day.
Jeanne drank chilled and room temperature water during the day and a cup of hot water with lemon at night. In 1 year she lost 92 pounds.
"Thanks to water, I have more energy, my skin is great, my hair is shinier and nobody believes I am in my forties!"
