Does hot water reduce tummy?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

I'm really concerned because my recent tests showed some worrying results. My ultrasound pointed to a fatty liver, and my blood work showed that my levels are a bit off: SGOT is 138, SGPT is 245, GGT is 138, and alkaline phosphatase is 117. Plus, my globulin level is at 3.5. What could be causing these issues?

I'm dealing with gas and flatulence a lot, like up to 14 times a day for the last three months. My health's pretty good otherwiseall my health check-ups came back normal. I'm 44 years old, weigh 81 kg, and I'm about 5'10". However, about a month ago, I noticed a bit of blood when I was cleaning up after a bowel movement. I went to see a surgeon, and they said I have second-grade external piles. Could the flatulence be causing the piles? What kind of treatment or medicine should I be considering? I work a middle-management job that involves mostly sitting at a desk and some traveling. Right now, I'm using pilorute cream twice a day and taking 15 ml of lactulose at night. Any advice would be really helpful.
