Now, one expert advises that a hot drink could solve the problem. This is because hot beverages such as coffee, tea - or even a cup of hot water - stimulate the bowel, easing constipation. Dr Felice Schnoll-Sussman, a gastroenterologist at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, US, said hot drinks widen blood vessels, aiding digestion.
The difference is subtle but crucial, because if you drink a big glass of ice water, youâll have cold liquid sitting in your stomach â right above where youâve shoved your rectal thermometer. As a result, the thermometer may register a lower temperature even though the rest of your body hasnât really been cooled. Sure enough, unlike previous studies, the new study found that drinking hot water triggered a sweat response that more than compensated for the heat of the drink. Cold drinks produced the opposite response, with a reduction in sweat cancelling out the cooling power of the drink.
