  Thinking about it, it is logical that when we drink warm water after a fatty meal, it can help dissolve those fats that had stuck to our arteries, veins and stomach linings.

  In fact, just after reading this post of yours I got a warm water from the water dispenser, by first pouring some cold water then some equal amount of hot water. At least when I tipped my finger on it, i know that it's the tolerable heat that my mouth can take.

  You see, my throat is beginning to itch. I know that drinking a warm water can kill whatever bacteria or virus there is in my throat.

  I really hope this will not turn into a cough and colds. Meantime, i shall be drinking warm water every now and then.

  You see the climate here is so hot, that's why most people loves drinking cold water because it cools their bodies. I guess it's understandable that when the weather is hot though, a cold water can refresh us. :)

• Yes drinking a plenty of warm water helps with our bodily mechanisms such as metabolism and digestion. It has also been proven by the scientists of nowadays. In Ayurveda, the science of living, the benefits of drinking warm water has been mentioned. The benefits that you have mentioned have already been explained in it. Thanks for bringing up such good detailed benefits of drinking warm water as not everyone can access books of Ayurveda that easily and some of them are just sham that bring shame in the name of Ayurveda itself.
