Drinking ample water every day helps to flush out the toxins from our body and if it is consumed before a meal it can also help to reduce the appetite, which can indirectly help in weight loss.

It has been studied that warm water boosts our metabolism by increasing the core body temperature that can effectively result in weight loss if consumed early morning every day on an empty stomach. Experts also recommend consuming warm water as it helps to remove sticky content, stuck on the linings, of our digestive tract that works like a detox agent and help us to feel light.

While it was initially studied that drinking cold water helps to burn more calories, which was calculated to be around 8 calories per glass, to warm up the water that has been consumed to the body temperature.
