During the winter season, many people switch to drinking lukewarm water. It is believed that lukewarm water improves metabolism and supports overall well-being.
According to health experts, drinking lukewarm water is indeed beneficial for the body. However, some individuals prefer cold water even during winter, finding lukewarm or hot water less appealing. Drinking cold water in winter is often considered harmful, with many viewing it as detrimental to health. But does it truly lead to illnesses?
Dr Sonia Rawat, Director of the Preventive Health and Wellness Department at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, shared with News18 that lukewarm or hot water in winter aids digestion and improves blood circulation. However, drinking cold or normal-temperature water during winter does not pose any serious health risks.
Water is essential for hydration, and individuals should drink water at a temperature that satisfies their thirst, whether cold, normal, or hot. That said, if you are suffering from a cold or another illness, it is advisable to avoid cold water during that time.
Dr Rawat also highlighted that people often consume less water in winter, leading to dehydration. To maintain proper hydration, individuals should aim to drink at least 1.5 to 2 litres of water daily.
Water is essential for maintaining bodily functions and flushing out toxins. A significant number of people experience dehydration during the winter season, which can result in health issues. Therefore, it is important to monitor water intake to ensure good health during the colder months.
