Hot Water Benefits: Why do Chinese people prefer hot water over chilled water? Know the surprising benefits here
Even in the scorching sun, if you offer people in the Chinese community some chilled water, they would politely refuse and ask if they could get some hot water! Yes, that's right. In China, hot water is more than hydration; it's a cultural staple and a health practice rooted in centuries-old traditions. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now People often carry a thermos, especially if they don't have access to warm water. Chilled and even normal tap water is off the table for them. This could be surprising to many Westerners, who absolutely adore drinking almost everything chilled. Why do people in China prefer hot water? Well, the cultural reasons behind it are a discussion for another day. But the health benefits are many. Let's take a look. Aids digestion Hot water is a gentle ally for your digestive system. It will get things moving. Some believe that warm water stimulates the production of digestive enzymes, which help break down food more efficiently. This can reduce bloating and ease constipation. One easy and quick remedy to relieve constipation is drinking a cup of hot water. A 2016 found that warm water has some favourable effects on the intestinal movement and gas expulsion after surgery. Sipping some hot water before or after meals may prepare the stomach and is a natural remedy for indigestion. Boosts hydration While all water hydrates, hot or warm water may help to replenish fluids more effectively, especially after physical activity or in dry climates. For many people, starting the day with drinking hot water and ending with another really helps them stay energized throughout the day. Relieve nasal congestion Sipping a cup of hot water when you have a blocked nose is the best remedy. This is because the hot water creates steam, and while drinking it, you also inhale the gentle water, which may help loosen clogged sinuses and can relieve a sinus headache. It can also soothe a sore throat caused by mucus buildup. A 2008 suggests that a hot drink, such as tea, can provide quick, lasting relief from a runny nose, coughing, sore throat, and tiredness. Improves circulation Drinking warm water can dilate blood vessels and improve blood flow. It can also reduce muscle tension. This is why temperature therapies like saunas and warm baths are often prescribed for various health benefits, including circulation. Sipping hot water in the evening can serve as a calming ritual, reducing stress and preparing the body for restful sleep.

I was too nervous to perform in bed & thought my 8-yr relationship was over… an orgy with FIVE strangers relit the spark
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FEELING the spark draining from their romance, Tom and Lauren decided opening up their relationship and trying sex with other couples would rekindle the flame. But their first attempts at swinging proved a flop after Tom's erectile dysfunction prevented things from going to plan.

Tom and Lauren, who have been together eight years and are engaged, decided heading on National TV for specialist help was the only way forward and signed up to Channel 4's Open House: The Great Sex Experiment. 'We'd tried a couple of times and unfortunately had some bad experiences,' Lauren said. 'Tom just didn't feel comfortable naked. While the couples were amazing and I was a lot more open, Tom just wasn't. 'So we thought with the show having experienced non-monogamous people and a therapist, it would be a good way to try again.' Lauren had brought up the idea of swinging because she is bisexual and felt 'something was missing' in a monogamous relationship. Their plans were put on hold when Tom was diagnosed with the heart condition Bicuspid aortic valve, where the main valve in his heart doesn't function properly. It's the same condition that Arnold Schwarzenegger has. The couple were advised by doctors to avoid anything that could cause a high heart-rate - meaning no swinging - and that Tom had to stop going to the gym, leading him to put on weight and his confidence plummeted. Once things were back on a stable footing, the couple decided to sign up for Open House: The Great Sex Experiment for a fresh start when it comes to swinging. The 48-hour luxury retreat mixes therapy with opportunities for couples to try out a non-monogamous lifestyle and meet like-minded people. Inside world's 'swinging capital' where 40-women orgies take over X-rated nightclubs & daring couples enjoy secret sand dune romps on nude beach Tom credits being able to speak with non-monogamy therapist Effy with helping him to understand that erectile dysfunction isn't uncommon and to realise that he did want to explore swinging with Lauren. 'It was really throwing me off the deep end going on the show but that was what I needed,' he said. 'The therapy forced me to confront things, like looking after myself, and Effy hit nerves which is why I break down on the show. 'But she also helped me to get back into the swing of everything. I know that the swinging is helping our relationship and it's given me confidence that I don't need Lauren right next to me to be confident. "Our communication has improved so much and we're so much stronger.' On the first night, Lauren and Tom took FIVE singles back to their room in a bid to have group sex. The group sex was initiated by Tom, who had been set a challenge by the therapist to invite some residents back in a bid to improve his confidence. Despite being incredibly nervous, Tom was able to perform thanks to lots of attention focused on his erogenous zones.

Tom said: 'The therapist got me to feel quite strong and be in a place to engage in group sex where I hadn't been before. 'Meeting the residents has really opened up my eyes to what our life could be like. They made me feel so welcome and comfortable. 'Having a chance to open up about my issues has shown me that I'm not the only one at all. 'It reminded me that a lot of people struggle with it at different times. I don't need to see a naked person and think that I don't know what I'm doing. 'Once I was in my head about not being able to perform, that's where it would all go wrong, and then it would become difficult to do what I wanted to do.' As a former gym addict, Tom admits that he used to have his top off all the time to show off his ripped physique, but now worries people will stare at him for the wrong reasons. Since filming the series, he has dropped to 16 and a half stone, which has helped him feel more comfortable exploring swinging. 'The show has opened my eyes and it's helped me massively to have the motivation to make changes,' Tom explained.

Lauren said: 'It was absolutely a bonus to end up having sex. I think it all came down to the help the therapist gave us when it came to our communication. 'The residents were so supportive of us. Even at a normal swinging event, having sex with other people is a bonus rather than a given. 'Our biggest worry was that we'd go on the show and none of the residents were going to be interested in us.' Finally, having successful group sex has strengthened the couple's relationship, even though they thought the show might have the opposite effect. 'Lauren told me afterwards that she thought that the show was going to break our relationship,' Tom said. 'Instead, it's made me realise that I do really want this type of lifestyle. I like the after effects like cuddle and the stories. Plus, it's a way for me to learn new things to bring back to our bed. 'Our sex life now is so good. I didn't imagine this would happen. 'It's brought us closer together. It's really given us our spark back.' Parental woes 12 They were nervous to tell their parents about going on the show Credit: Instagram/@ 12 Tom stopped going to the gym when he was diagnosed with a heart condition Credit: Instagram/@ One downside about going on Open House, for a lot of people, is that it shows explicit sex scenes - and there's the possibility of parents watching. But for Lauren and Tom, they were shocked to discover their parents were very supportive and were even considering watching their episodes. She said: 'I was actually pleasantly surprised by the reaction of both our mums. They were so supportive. 'It's not a show they would normally watch and we've explained to them how explicit it is. We suggested they watch the previous serious to make a decision on if they'd actually want to watch us on the show. 'Obviously we can't stop them from watching if they want to. 'Our dads weren't really bothered, but have said 'good for you'.' The couple hope that the show will help people understand that being in an open relationship doesn't mean you'll have sex with everyone. 'People seem to think that we're at orgies with thousands of people every weekend and that's just not the case,' Lauren said. 'We like to get to know someone before we jump into bed with them. It's no different from being single and having a one-night stand. 12 Lauren proposed a non-monogamous relationship because she likes girls and boys Credit: Instagram/@ 12 The show sees veteran singles and couples help newbies to open relationships Credit: Instagram/@openhousethegreatsexexperiment
