Improves Blood Circulation

A warm bath dilates blood vessels, helping blood circulate. Healthline states that studies suggest sipping heated water might offer comparable benefit (54°C-71°C, not hotter or it might harm the mouth or throat).

Lessens Shivering

According to Medical News Today, heated drinks and boiled water may raise body warmth and dispel cold trembles. This happens perhaps because the body doesn’t need to try as hard to keep itself warm.
