You’ll appreciate the soothing and balancing this technique offers. Once you have become accustomed to it, you will look forward to drinking hot water on a frequent basis. During the first few weeks you may urinate more frequently. This is because the body may be beginning to flush out ama and other impurities. It’s a sign that something is happening to your system. Gradually the frequency of urination should return to normal, but the ama will continue to be released from the system.
On the other hand, cold water (and any cold drinks) hampers digestion. Simply put, it puts out your digestive fire. It freezes the digestive enzymes and fluids in your G.I. tract, disabling your body from digesting.
Have a cup of hot water first thing to get going. Put hot water in an insulated thermos for the day or always have a kettle nearby.
Enjoy the hydration!
