Find out at what temperature it would be best to drink water to amplify its benefits. Cold is definitely not the healthiest option
We know by now, it is very important to drink a lot of water during the day to better hydrate our body. But what temperature must this water have? The answer is that it depends, although in most situations it is advisable to drink water that is not too cold, lukewarm or even hot.
Paying attention to the temperature of the water can seem like an unimportant detail when the biggest problem is drinking, which we don't always do enough. Instead, we should start taking this aspect seriously as well.
The varying temperatures of the water we drink can, in fact, have significantly different health benefits. And the temperature to choose can also vary according to the different times of the day in which we take it or the effect we want to achieve.
For example, while a cup of hot water first thing in the morning to start the day is good for waking up the digestive system, a glass of cold water after a sweaty workout is used by some athletes as a system for help the internal temperature to cool down by restoring balance.

As early as ancient traditional Chinese medicine, water temperature was used as a way to help the body heal, recover and fight infections, and Indian Ayurvedic practices have long proven that temperature, speed, and even if whether or not we are sitting while sipping water are important variables to consider.

Warm or warm water is the best choice
The water temperature is crucial as heat and cold affect the body differently. However, science generally believes that drinking water at room temperature, or warm water, is the best choice for rehydrating cells.
During a day of normal activity we can choose a water that is not too cold, between 10 ° and 20 °, which allows the body to rehydrate faster. The theory that drinking cold water helps you burn more calories (as your body has to work to heat the water to absorb it) has been widely debunked.
According to Ayurvedic practices, drinking water at room temperature or hot water can aid digestion and even promote weight loss, Ayurvedic expert Dr. Akhilesh Sharma believes. His advice is precisely to avoid cold water as it interrupts digestion and restricts blood flow to the organs.
Drinking warm water can therefore aid digestion and promote weight loss, at least according to Ayurveda.
Chinese medicine also considers hot water very beneficial, able to help the body achieve balance, promote circulation and get rid of toxins through its natural filters: the kidneys and the liver.
Temperature is not important for improving mood
A study from a few years ago suggests that drinking adequate amounts of water can help improve mood throughout the day. In fact, it was shown that dehydration had negative effects on vigor, on affects related to esteem, on short-term memory and on attention. All these parameters have definitely improved after drinking.
So, if you feel particularly irritated, drink a large glass of water (whatever the temperature it is) and take long, deep breaths.
How Much Water Should You Drink?
Regardless of the temperature, most people often don't drink enough water. But how much should we drink? Generally we say 1,5 liters or 2 liters but there is a formula, completely indicative (because there are also other variations to consider), to understand how much water we have available depending on our weight:
- 30 ml x kg body weight = ml per day
Those who exercise for an hour or more must add half a liter of water which becomes a liter or a liter and a half for high or extreme intensity exercises.
