What is the appropriate temperature for drinking water?
First of all, drinking more water is good for your health, but it is best to keep warm. Water is the source of life, and we really need to replenish a lot of water to maintain the balance of body fluids, regulate body temperature, and expel nitrogen-containing wastes and other metabolites from the body. Therefore, the idea of drinking more water is correct. According to the recommendation of Dietary Guidelines for China Residents (20 16), adults with mild physical activity should drink at least 1500~ 1700 ml (7-8 cups) of water every day. Under the condition of high temperature or strong physical activity, it should be increased appropriately. It should be noted that drinking too much water will also do harm to human health.

As for the water temperature, China people prefer to be warm, not the hotter the better. Because the delicacy of food is mostly related to temperature, China people have a soft spot for hot food. This can be traced back to 20 thousand years ago. Pottery made by the ancients was used for cooking and boiling water. At the same time, boiling water can also effectively inhibit bacteria. In that era of poor sanitation, the habit of drinking hot water gradually formed. However, modern research believes that drinking water is not as hot as possible. Excessive water temperature will burn the digestive tract mucosa. It is more appropriate to use warm water of 34~38℃, and the water temperature should not exceed 60℃ as far as possible. In addition, many young people are not unable to learn the western habit of drinking cold water and ice water, but our stomach acceptance is not high, which is easy to cause stomach discomfort and induce diseases.
