What type of water we should consume?

Drink Room Temperature water, Warm is Even Better

Avoid ice chilled water that disturbs the ongoing process of digestion and puts off the
fire. Cold water decreases the blood supply to various organs of the body further
leading to constipation. Drinking tepid water can help in proper digestion and
metabolism that promotes weight loss, relieves bloating and pain. According to
research warm water helps in controlling cholesterol levels and also keep the arteries

What is the right way of consuming water & why?

kidneys also pace the filtration process while sitting.
