5 WAYS HOT DRINKS DO WONDERS TO YOUR BODY

A cup of hot tea, warm milk or even warm water can work wonders to your body. From managing weight loss, preventing premature ageing to replenishing your body’s vitamins and minerals, hot drinks could help you get a better body, inside and out.

1. Helps in weight loss

Black coffee, for example, not only helps your body release neurotransmitters like Dophamine and Norepinephrine (to regulate your mood and behaviour), it also helps in weight control. Because black coffee is calorie-free, it could eliminate a few pounds of fat in the long run. Moreover, drinking warm water causes an increase in body temperature, which boosts your body’s metabolism, helping you shred even more calorie.

2. Eases bowel movements

Dehydration causes constipation. Bowel movement is slowed down as your stool gets accumulated. This is why it’s important to consume a glass of warm water especially the first thing you wake up in the morning (even before brushing teeth). It helps regulate your bowel movements by breaking down food remnants as they pass through your intestines, smoothening the entire process and easing any pain caused by irregular bowel movements. You can also add a little bit of fresh lemon juice for an extra boost!

 3. Helps prevent premature ageing
