Drinking enough fluids is important to maintain health.
However, too hot water can cause harm instead of benefit.
As reported by journalists from aif.ru , dietitian and nutritionist Irina Mansurova spoke in more detail about this.
According to the expert, you should not drink boiling water or water that is hotter than 60 degrees unless necessary.
After all, in this situation the risk of burning the larynx or esophagus may increase.
The specialist noted that if you regularly drink such a very hot liquid for a long time, then a source of inflammation may appear in the oral cavity.
In addition, the reaction of the digestive system and stomach to such an effect is also unlikely to be positive.
As a result, these organs may experience chronic inflammation.
However, the expert drew attention to the fact that hot water can still be useful to drink, but only on condition that its temperature does not exceed 40 degrees.
In this case, it will help restore the salt and water balance.
Water at moderate temperatures can be drunk during colds.
After all, this can help remove phlegm from the body and help cope with a sore throat.
In addition, warm water, as the specialist explained, can dilate blood vessels.
And this in turn helps improve blood circulation. Against this background, the body is cleansed of toxins and various wastes.
Earlier, doctors told about a way to speed up metabolism after 40.
