Why is warm water an issue? What’s the issue?
May I have it that you think that which is water is just water? Not so.
Drinking warm water in the morning is the best way to start your metabolism first, take out the toxins, and get your digestive system going like a well-oiled machine. Cold water can shock your system, while hot water gives more soft wake-up calls to your organs.
In Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, warm water is a primary treatment. It is the unsung hero of at-home care!

My journey with warm water mornings.
About 12 months ago had enough of early morning bloat and sluggishness when I came across a post—maybe a TikTok—who can remember which platform anyway—that reported how drinking warm water first thing in the morning helped.
I thought, why the hell not? I had nothing to gain. which, in fact, I lost a little bit of that stubborn belly bloat.
In a few weeks I was hooked. I felt as if a weight had been lifted, my energy was up, and, well, let’s just say I was going to the bathroom a lot more frequently. That became my private ritual—a time-out before the mayhem of emails, kids, and the dog doing homework, which he had no part in.

The Health Benefits of Starting Your Day with Warm Water.
Here’s what you won’t believe. This isn’t your typical New Age talk; we are talking real science and ancient wisdom.
1. Improves Digestion at the Top of Its Game.
Warm water gives a gentle stimulus to the gut. It increases blood flow to the intestines and sets digestion in motion.
Quick Tip: Add a dash of lemon!
2. Rids Toxins.
We all are putting toxic elements into our bodies from stress to junk food and late-night Netflix snacking. Warm water aids in the detox process by stimulating bowel movements and sweating.
3. Weight Loss Solution (Yes, Really!).
Drinking warm water isn’t a magic solution for fat loss, but it can increase your metabolism a little. Also, it makes you feel full, which in turn means you’ll think twice before going for that 9 AM double bacon croissant.
4. Enhances Blood Circulation.
Warmth increases blood flow, which in turn improves circulation. Improved circulation means more oxygen to your organs, which equals a happy body.
5. Relieved of nasal congestion and sore throats.
Ever have it out that tea is a remedy when you’re sick? Same idea. It warms you up and helps to break up the mucus.
6. Glowing Skin.
Hydration= is the key to great-looking skin that is clear and plump. Try warm water, which also has lemon, for a natural way to purify the blood and flush out toxins, which in turn leaves your skin looking as if you just had a professional facial.
How to Turn It into a Daily Thing.
Okay, so how do you start?
Here’s what worked for me: Here is my take on it:.
- ✅Put out a cup by your bed.
- ✅Go for that cute mug; it may sound silly, but it does make it that much more special.
- ✅Add in some lemon or honey for taste and health benefits.
- ✅Make it a daily habit, like brushing your teeth or checking your phone (we all do it).
