Hot water is an appetite suppressant and my body just craves it. The other day, my daughter asked why I drank hot water, and I said, "I loved it", so she started drinking warm/hot water at 8 years old. Yesterday she told me that hot water was the BOMB and that she loved it! Try it..you may love it and get the added benefit of suppressing your appetite.

My Grandmother used to say that hot water was good for indigestion. But did that mean it cured it, or gave it to you? It usually settles my stomach- without the lemon in this case. Try it with a slice of orange. Hot orange squash is great too.

Hot water IS the "BOMB". I started drinking it recently and adding a lemon wedge to it for some flavor and a natural diuretic. It's wonderful! I drank way more than I usually would and without forcing myself to drink it. I'm missing my lemon wedges at work today tho'.

Drink HOT water--appetite suppressant. :-) Also, great on cold mornings!
Everybody's bodies are different...some like it hot...some like it cold. It's no different with the water we drink. If you're struggling to drink your water quotient for the day maybe it's because of the temperature! I love hot foods and hot drinks...the thought of drinking cold water freaks me out...so I drink hot water (with a wedge of lemon, if possible) or room temperature water when I'm not near a kettle! It goes down so much easier than cold water!!
Try it..you may love it and get the added benefit of suppressing your appetite.
