Abstract

Most of us start our mornings with a fresh, hot cup of coffee or tea to warm-up our bodies after getting out of bed. When we drink water, we tend to prefer it cold, but according to Ayurvedic medicine, we have it all wrong. Regularly drinking very warm water, especially in the morning, can heal our bodies, providing digestive power and reducing metabolic waste that could have built up in our immune system. Physicians recommend drinking warm water in the morning, usually, with a polyphenol-rich lemon immersion, or with a tea to decrease freeradical activity in the body. The consumption of warm water increases the tightening of the intestines, which optimizes elimination. Unlike hot water, processed cold water is devoid of many essential minerals that could become very unfavorable to the digestive tract when consuming a meal. For cold water drinkers, recommends refraining from drinking 20 minutes before eating — even if the source is natural spring water. While drinking warm water may not suit the taste buds, it may be beneficial to put the caffeine and tea aside for health's sake. Water is the sustainer of life of all living beings, the entire world is depend on it; so absolute avoidance of water is impossible. If it is not available it might result dryness of the mouth, weakness of the body or even death. There is no activity in both healthy and unhealthy persons without water. were used to find out the details in this study. Calculated the percentages of medicinal values of warm water separately by statistically analyzing of collected data. Hundred percent of texts had mentioned that warm water has antipyretic action, 86% had mentioned that each; bladder and vital channel cleansing, carminative and digestive properties. Warm water has the action of reducing cough (71%), dyspnea (71%) and obesity (57%) according to the findings of present study. Reducing hiccup, bleeding disorders, rhinitis, flatulence, abdominal pain, alcohol poisoning etc. were other properties of warm water according to the results. Warm water has medicinal properties other than as a normal drink. Adequate water intake is essential for health, but any benefit for weight management remains unclear. Drinking water is often applied as a dietary means for weight loss and overweight/obesity prevention, but no evidence-based recommendation exists for this indication. The objective of the study is to note the impact of drinking water consumption on weight outcomes from the evidence of existing studies. A direct causal relationship between water consumption and bodyweight outcomes can’t be achieved due to inadequate literature resources. Studies of individuals dieting for weight loss or maintenance suggest a weight-reducing effect of increased water consumption, whereas studies in general mixed-weight populations yielded inconsistent results. Though effect of water in weight loss fluctuates, it is clearly evident that replacing water with sugar sweetened beverages (SSB’s), fruit juices or any other non-nutritive beverages show inverse association with weight loss and the risk for other risk factors also increases. These findings, along with epidemiologic and intervention studies suggested a potentially important role for water in reducing energy intakes, and by this means a role in obesity prevention. Further need for randomized-controlled trials exists. Lifestyle treatments for weight loss focus on reducing energy intake and increasing physical activity through diet, exercise and behavioral measures. In general, a combination of treatment is most effective way to achieve weight loss.
