Q: Is there science behind drinking warm water?

So many have talked about it but is there actually science behind this drink-warm-water myth?

 

According to this article the benefits of drinking warm (notice, not hot) water include halting pre-mature aging and facilitating weight loss. 

 

As to whether the medical or scientific reasoning given is sufficient  I would like to hear your comments, especially if you have a bio-chemistry or medical background. Thanks.

Since the upside far outweighs the downside, ie what harm can drinking a cup of warm water every morning bring, I will test this "warm water myth" out for a week and see how it goes.

THis is no science but since i was the first time in china when i was 20years i learned this and i kept this lifestyle because it is so good for my body. Even in summer i dont drink cold water. I dont like to drink hot water.  But warm water i think is close to ones own body temperature, so less shocky for the body i guess Smile

I don't think so.

Sandnose:

Hey dumbass, did you ever consider the obvious?

Water in China is generally undrinkable directly from its source. It becomes drinkable after it is boiled and the bacteria and other nasties are killed.... Aka hot water. Duh.

WangNan2020:

No no correction, ALL pipes in China are made of lead and they don't separate shit water from kitchen water. It's a shame you live in China, look what a moron you've unfortunately transferred into after living and drinking water in China. We owe you an apology for the irrevocable damage to your brain LOL

Teachers who work in 2nd or 3rd tier cities are able to teach until 65.In China, if you meet the requirements for a class a work permit, there are no age restrictions. The class a work permit is for high end talent only. * (3/10/2017) China has begun to institute a new quite stringent regulation for expat teachers. It is based on points, one earns points for type of degree, at what university it came from, whether you can speak Chinese, and then age comes into play. The more points one has earned the better chance they have of staying in a contract and obtaining a work visa once they are 60. ... more ...  ... butT ..., see this one: https://www.hiredchina.com/what-are-the-new-rules-for-foreign-teachers-in-china-2023 New Rules for Foreign Teachers in China 2023In order to make it easier for foreign teachers to continue to teach in the country, the Chinese government has announced a series of new regulations that will come into effect in 2023.
