Hot Water And Weight Loss Don’t Go Hand-In-Hand 

Water, hot or cold, keeps your body healthy. Drinking enough water daily can prevent dehydration, a condition that can cause unclear thinking, mood change, makes the body overheat, and even leads to constipation and kidney stones. Various health experts and researchers have highlighted the need to drink water in a bid to keep illness at bay. But are there health benefits to drinking hot water? 

Hot water acts as a fluid that cleanses your body of all its toxins. Drinking hot water, especially the first thing in the morning, can do wonders. You can also add a dash of lemon to give a boost of vitamin C. But a popular claim that we often come across is that a cup of hot water helps in the weight loss process.

According to nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee, “It's a myth.” In an Instagram post, the health expert states two pivotal health benefits of hot water and weight loss isn't one of them. “A lot of people believe drinking hot water after a meal can help in weight loss. This is not true,” she says. 

The nutritionist mentions that hot water does aid digestion, as well as help in detoxification. In the caption, she states, “Hot water aids digestion. Drinking hot water after a meal can help detoxify. So, you can give it a try and maybe it will work for you but no, hot water does not make you lose weight.”
