Indian people also drink hot water boiled with some herbs in it. This is an Ayurvedic way.

I love the break down of this process. It shows which portion of the sentence is connected to which character(s). It makes it possible to identify character(s) at a quicker rate for in the future.

I always drink warm water. It helps me digest food better and breaks it down better.

Great video Andy & Sarah! I always assumed boiling water was for hygiene - the ancients, who were so skilled in ancient medicine, certainly would have discovered that boiling water before drinking it was a healthy thing to do considering the conditions of those times. Thanks for breaking the sentences down and for including the sentence structure. Very helpful. I recommend your lessons to everyone learning Mandarin! 😊

[@liliankimani9524]

I stopped learning Chinese after level 4 because of speaking and listening problem and hence the exam. So when I came across your teaching I am listening and understanding better 🙂. Thank you 谢谢 你。

This is an interesting topic Andy and to be honest I was surprised when I was visiting China for the first time and the waiter brought a jug of boiling water to me! The Greek mothers in the contrary with the Chinese mothers used to saying: don't drink hot water because you will throw up :D To be honest even though in Greece where the temperatures at summer are reaching 35+ C we are drinking ice cold water in the Arabian countries they are always drinking hot tea and they must have reasons for that I suppose. But about China I have a different opinion which could be supplementary to your opinion. First of all in Greece we have traditional medicin for thousands of years like you and even though we have not traditional doctors any more we use many medicinal plants everyday at home. So when we are sick our mothers are offering to us instead of hot water, hot drinks like your tea which we call teas in general. In Greece we have "greek mountain tea", sage, thyme, rosmary and some other plants that belongs to the same family (Labiatae) and have a unique characteristic. They have antibiotic properties and this is scientifically proven as I know as an agronomist. Similar characteristics has the chamomilla which we also drink as tea. We consume a lot of chinese tea too which has the positive characteristics of the hot water and helps hydration, important when we have fever. The chinese tea has not antibiotic properties but it has antioxidants which prolong life as we know. But why the Chinese have the habit of drinking hot water? I think that there is a reason for that comming from ancient times. The biggest problem of our ancestor was not only to have drinking water in their cities and towns but also to have safe to drink water. And here are the different solutions that the Europeans and the Chinese had found. In China they used the simple solution of boiling the drinking water and killing this way microbes and other micro organisms that were dangerous for their health. By boiling tea leaves they were making hot water more tasty and better for health. In the contrary, in Europe, the people found another solution. They were adding small quantities of alcohol! It is well known that in the ancient Greek symposiums (=drinking together) they we consuming big quantities of wine without to became drunk. The reason is that the wine was diluted in water. The alcohol is toxic for the liver, but after so many centuries of consuption the European liver involved to tolarate it. In the contrary, according to studies, 50% of Chinese people have alcohol intolerance! Thank you very much for the informations that gave to us about the Chinese culture. If you like I can send you Greek mountain tea to taste it. It is very aromatic and has nice taste.

[@andrewhopkins888]

My teacher always told me to drink warm water as cold water shocks the internal organs and causes dampness in the body, which is frowned upon in Chinese Traditional Medicine.

[@assassinaria]

Our pre-human ancestors all the way to modern men used to drink cold water. We have adapted to cold drinks as hot drinks are a relatively new phenomenon

[@jennyli7749]

I’m Scottish born Chinese and have heard from a young age about the condition ‘dampness’ in the body…..47 years later….I still have no idea what that means 😂

[@massilez6720]

I understand to drink hot water in winter but in a hot weather is insane. So good to have a ice water when i feel hot, so refreshing☺

Love very much your videos for repeatedly pronunciation, does help a lot. That's how I learned English from my Teacher.

[@danutahartuna9602]

[@vister6757]

I like warm/room temperature water not hot water. I stopped drinking cold water because it makes me cough easily when I drink more cold drinks. A doctor also told me ice and cold water usually attract bacteria to bred easier. So its better to drink hot, warm or room temperature water.

I have been drinking hot water for years with lemon as I do not like cold water. The nurses I worked with thought it was strange. I did not learn this from the Chinese as it was just a preference.

My friend. use to say that she still felt thirsty after drinking cold water, but after drinking hot water she felt satisfied.

[@fazeeralatiff]

Thank you very much for breaking down the sentences. I'm learning Mandarin and my biggest weakness is knowing when and where to add duo (before/after a word) and le (after the verb/end of sentence). I cant say I had improved but I can say for surety I can get a general idea after watching your video.

I wonder what temperature hot water is. Isn't it rather lukewarm, about body temperature? Ayurveda and TCM recommend drinking one to two glasses of lukewarm drinking water in the morning on an empty stomach as a home remedy for treating digestive problems. This is just an example, warm water is also said to detoxify ...
