Warm water helps to curb appetite. Gulping down a glass of warm water 30 minutes before having your meal can help to manage your calories intake.

Drinking hot water alone does not directly reduce tummy fat. However, it can support overall hydration and digestion, which are important for maintaining a healthy metabolism.

Key points to consider:

Hydration: Drinking enough water, whether hot or cold, helps your body function well and can aid in weight management.
Metabolism: Warm water might temporarily increase your body temperature, but this effect is minimal and not enough to cause significant fat loss.
Healthy lifestyle: Reducing tummy fat effectively involves a combination of balanced diet, regular physical activity, and good sleep.

In summary, while hot water is good for hydration and digestion, it should be part of a broader healthy lifestyle to help reduce tummy fat effectively.

My wife went through gall bladder surgery back in 2014 for acute gall stone pancreatitis. Since then, all her blood tests and ultrasounds have come back normal, but she still sometimes gets really bad leg pain at night and in the morning. On top of that, she deals with loose motions and a burning stomach about once a week. Do you have any idea what could be causing these issues and how we can help her feel better?

Your wife's symptoms of severe leg pain at night and morning, along with weekly episodes of loose motions and burning stomach, could be related to her previous gallstone pancreatitis or gallbladder removal surgery; possible causes include pancreatic insufficiency, bile salt diarrhea, or fat malabsorption; consider consulting a gastroenterologist for further evaluation

I'm really worried about my husband's recent LFT results. His SGPT is 119 and SGOT is 86, and his bilirubin total is 0.97. He used to drink alcohol but has stopped now. What could these values indicate? Should we be concerned?

These elevated values can indicate liver damage or inflammation. Since he was alcoholic but has now stopped, it's important to continue with a healthy lifestyle. I recommend he takes Ursodeoxycholic acid to support his liver function and Milk Thistle extract to promote liver health.
