New Delhi, February 11 (IANS). Water not only quenches the thirst of the body, but also works by mixing with blood to deliver oxygen to every part of the body.
70 percent of the human body is made up of water, but very few people know what kind of water drinking is beneficial for the body. The tradition of drinking lukewarm water as soon as you wake up in the morning has been going on for centuries because it is not just a habit but a process that is beneficial to the body.
According to Ayurveda, drinking lukewarm water as soon as you wake up in the morning has extraordinary benefits, from speeding up digestion to balancing Kapha dosha. But the question is whether lukewarm water is equally beneficial in every season and the more hot water we drink, do we get the same benefits? Today we have brought answers to all these questions. First let us know how many benefits we get by drinking lukewarm water after waking up in the morning. Drinking lukewarm water as soon as you wake up in the morning makes the suppressed digestive fire work faster and helps in digesting the food properly.
Lukewarm water also mobilizes the intestines and helps in flushing out toxins. With the help of lukewarm water, the phlegm hidden in the chest starts loosening and coming out, and for those who are troubled by increasing weight, lukewarm water is also helpful in reducing fat, but is it beneficial to consume lukewarm water only in the morning? You can consume lukewarm water throughout the day.
It is beneficial to consume lukewarm water half an hour before eating food in the morning, because it helps in speeding up digestion and is also helpful in controlling weight. Lukewarm water can be consumed even 1 hour after eating food. Now let us know when one should avoid consuming lukewarm water. In case of excessive thirst or dehydration, avoid drinking lukewarm water as it can further increase dehydration.
Secondly, avoid drinking hot or lukewarm water even during extreme summers as it can cause heatstroke and panic. Third and last, if there is a problem of bile or burning sensation in the stomach during summer, then its consumption should also be avoided.
