- Imagine yourself in China in the middle of July. The weather is boiling, and the only thing you can think about is a big glass of ice water. You ask for a drink at the nearest cafe and take a gulp. But the water’s so hot that it's burned your tongue!
Yep, in China, drinking water is served piping hot. What's more, locals have it with all their dishes, be it winter or stifling summer heat. The answer to this mystery lies in Chinese culture and history. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body consists of yin and yang elements. And you stay healthy only if your yin and yang are in balance. Okay, what is this all about?

SUMMARY:
- So, let's say your yang gets too strong. In this case, your internal temperature will rise, and you’re likely to get ill. That's why it's crucial to get rid of the extra yang (or, in other words, excess heat) in your body.
- And however counterintuitive it may sound, the best way to do this is by drinking hot water, or other hot beverages.
- Being able to drink hot water was kind of a privilege and was reserved for the elderly, the sick, and pregnant women.
- Another reason for drinking hot water during meals is that it's supposed to improve digestion and soothe the digestive tract.
- Soccer appeared nowhere else but in China about 2,200 years ago! Or at least it was the game that later transformed into the soccer we know today.
- With an area of more than 3.7 million square miles, China is a huge country.
- China is the country with the largest population on the planet. More than 1.4 billion people live there!
- The first day of the year in China falls on the new moon, which usually happens between January 21 and February 20.
- Fortune cookies weren’t invented in China! They began in San Francisco, and nowadays, more than 3 billion fortune cookies are produced every year.
- China is the country of railroads. Imagine this: if you combined all the Chinese railroad tracks, you’d be able to wrap them around the Earth two times!
- Table tennis, or Ping-pong, is China's national sport, and the Chinese are really good at it!
- Number 8 is a lucky number in China. The reason for this may lie in the fact that in Chinese, the word "prosperity" sounds like the word "eight."
- China is also the home of the world-famous Terracotta Army, which consists of approximately 8,000 clay soldiers who were supposed to guard the Emperor's tomb in Xi'an.
- You have to thank the Chinese for inventing toilet paper! But at first, it wasn't just for anybody - only the emperor could use it.
- One of the main reasons for different unexpected food combinations is that traditional Chinese medicine claims that all the tastes must be balanced.
- China has its own version of Bigfoot. Its name is Yeren, which means "wild man," and it supposedly lives somewhere in the mountains of the Hubei Province, which is covered in dense forests.
- The most popular hobby in China is collecting stamps. What's more, it's seen as a status symbol!

What's your favorite drink when you're feeling very thirsty? 🍹
Cold Water
Actually I like a drinking a lot of water each time when I drink some water it's like I drink whole bottle I drink it all I'd like super duper duper duper cold water I drink the whole bottle of water
Cold water
warm water
Umm.. Just normal water or a yummy juice........
I'm Chinese (not from mainland), I don't drink warm water unless it's winter. When I went to China to visit my relatives, they encouraged me to drink hot water even on hot summer days, it's very strange for me at first, then I figured out it's traditional Chinese medicine to improve health and digestion
contact me on fb
😇
boiled water was promoted by chiang kai shek and his wife to improve sanitation as part of their new life style campaign
My mom said hot water causes human evolution
I practice drinking hot water for a week and it works, my skin felt more hydrated and more glowly
How much did you drink?🥺
@@Thatgirl___000 1 galon
Wow great keep it up
@@bread5737 r u kidding me🙂🔪
@@Thatgirl___000 It makes our skin more shiny☺
Amazing, my sister-in-law is from Hong Kong and she always has a cup of hot water when we go out to dinner. He said it's just soothing and peaceful. I will do this from now on
I cannot tell you the amount of weight i am losing just by switching to hot. When i use to live in china as an expat I couldn’t understand why they drink hot water. Eventually they told me “because consuming cold things is bad for you.” So i started drinking hot water and without exercise or healthy eating i began losing weight like craycray
I always drink hot water never cold. My body thanks me. I get more energy, better digestive system, less anxiety, less headache, better mood, and better skin.
do you drink hot water during your meals or right after meals or right before meals or first thing in the morning or before sleep?
This isn't so strange because when we get ill, we take hot tea, hot soup, etc.😊
karaokecatlady please take that smiling emoji off u 🐍
Warm milk too...

Stuffy*
@@lasetlivingstin7752 I drink it when I go to bed ..., helps me sleep better !
Bright Side.......I❤️You!!! Always great information!👍🏾💕💕
Such an amazing video, thank you for such knowledge
Interesting... Learn something new everyday thanks for sharing! I perfer cold water, or luke warm. But i'm going to try drinking hot water every morning
I'm a Chinese-American. Drinking hot water and avoid eating ice cream, cold food and cold drinks, juice and most of veggies (except mushrooms and olives helped in the past, now these veggies don't help, but eating Thai basils with food like scrambled eggs and pho helps much more ) help reducing and lightening my heavy period by a lot.
Awesome Chaina
Very nice work
I also drink hot water both in summer and winter. Hot water also makes you stronger and last long in life.
As I’m watching this on my tv with my baby next to me, she’s watching it too! Thank you! I enjoy the videos so time to begin watching more everyday. I hope she’ll remember these facts.
It's great to know. Thank you Bright Side!
This is Genius Thanks for sharing always stay at Bright side
I don’t drink hot water every time. I only drink it in the morning when a wake up. It keeps my skin glowing throughout the day. I also don’t drink hot water in winter too.
I live in China and I can tell you they DO drink a lot of hot water. No matter hot or cold day it is... they also recommend it as a treat if you feel bad or uncomfortable in any way. They Do drink hot water with any meal and between them. In restaurants they always offer it before a meal (sometimes with lemon) and even if you just enter someone’s house they’ll offer hot water to you, too. In that hot water that they drink Chinese people put different fruit or berries and it’s give that tea some good benefits.
Nice info
Nice i love it i learn new things
When I get up in the middle of the night and want a drink of water; I have found drinking warm water lets me get back to sleep quick where cold water does not.
Thanks!
Huh???
Makes sense to me. Your body always tries to keep a constant temperature, which is around 37C. When you introduce cold water, the body would need to convert stored fuel in your body into heat, which in same ways waking your body up for a bit to do that.
@@bwyyc2886
Yep
Burkhold St. Rudderberg I’ll wake up in the middle of the night chug a ice cold water bottle and fall right back asleep
4:02 The back ground is fuji.Mountain Japan. ^^
Your contents are very interesting and educative.
Interesting!!
Been there many times, my wife is Chinese, she never drinks ice water. However there is another reason even more important that they drink hot water. Ever go there and pour water from the tap? You can actually see things moving around. Boiling the water kills the germs, then they poor into thermos. They are also huge tea drinkers and you need hot water for tea. Another interesting thing is they drink hot water from a glass not a cup.
BRIGHT SIDE, I'm from Kerala, in South India. Traditionally, we used to have hot / warm water in which cumin seeds or dried ginger had been boiled. It aids digestion. And cools your body!
Awesome...I will do this
Thats too much information i didnt know. Thanks
I’m Chinese and I watched this and I was like ooohhhhh that’s why.
Holy jesus same
TH-cam is Banned in China
@@gauravnainwal514 why?
@@gauravnainwal514 I said I am Chinese, never said anything about living there.
@@helenp5953 idk, just watch a video of "why is youtube banned in china"

It's 6am on a Sunday in Hong Kong now and I just drank hot water with honey and apple cider vinegar...
I ALWAYS drink hot water too!!
I just don't like drinking cold water, whether it's a hot day or cold day.
Thanks for English subtitle.
Concise, to the point and worth watching video.. well done again Bright side.. regards from Asim in Karachi at Axinstitute for Chinese Language
As a Chinese myself I really appreciate this video! Just one small correction: usually people from North part of China have soup at the end of meal. People from the south have soup at the very beginning of the meal. Because not only do they consider soup as the most nutrient part of the meal, but they also think it will prevent people from overeating, which I personally believe it make lots of sense ( spoil alert: I am from the north. :p)
I can agree w/ eating more soup...My Gparents along w/ my older neighbors, made lots of homemade vegetable soups every year & shared it...Male & female...Even back then, schools made more soups for lunch...Also, chicken noodle soup...
I also believe the hot & cold intake makes a difference...My Gma always got on me about eating too many cold foods...I suffer from lots of congestion now b/c of it...Makes sense, once you learn the reason...

Most of the times, I never drink cold water, even on the hottest days. I am an African Trinidadian and always drink at lease 6 glasses of warm water a day. I don't know why but I really look healthy because sometimes my mom be like "How come you look like you have on makeup?" and I don't really wear makeup and I also believe that I am the only person who is living in one house, comparing my sister mom and dad, I drank the most amount of hot water. My mom also drink hot water and my sister but not alot like me, and my dad always drink cold water. Weird huh? And I normally wear jacket at night on a daily basis. I had a weird diet lol.
Yay a new video
I'm a big fan of bright side because of it's good advice for health other things!
I recently started drinking hot water after waking up...I can already notice the health benefits.

I do drink warm water the whole day and it felt great!
My exes mom used to always tell me “don’t drink cold water on a hot day because it can shock your system”
Channel Hub Tv it's a fact, your liver and kidneys
I'm Chinese and I think this is bullcrap
Drinking cold water make you sick.liver disease is one of them .I'm iranian.and iranian doctors accept this
Interesting
Channel Hub Tv just freakin drink coke man
aha! no wonder when i visited China few years hack, even though it was very hot summer, when ever I asked water I h'v been served with boiling hot water I really used to get annoyed, now I get it
Thank you
Interesting, might have to try hot water to test it👍
I came here coz I’m curious of my habit which is drinking hot water and if there’s a benefit to it. And found this and more lol
There is another reason here! The tap water in China is not drinkable so we always boil the water before we dink it. Normally, I cannot wait for the water to cool down to room temperature so I just drink it when it is hot. Gradually I get use to dink hot water and cannot resist from drinking hot water.
Thanks
Thanks for making the convertion from miles to kph
I watched this video because I’m here in China drinking hot water , soup and tea even though it’s summer but it’s actually winter now, just refilled my glass of hot water 😂

This is so true.for years I've been drinking warm water even in summer.or if not available at least room temperature during summer
I drink warm water everyday, no matter what. I have this problem where when I drink cold or room temperature water my throat is sore so that's why I drink warm water
My favorite drink when I’m thirsty is juice or some really blue water cold not hot
My Chinese friend did this, when she tried to explain all she said was it’s good for you.
NHMO OYTIS yes, chinese traditional doctors say this
I had to hear this
Nice
Okay-
I’m Chinese’s and I knew nothing abt his but I did have to drink a lot of hot water during certain times

I didn’t even know they drank hot water
Neither did i...

Same
some do some don't.
I prefer drink warm water because to avoid pain in the body or feel weak.. , bloated stomach. Warm water gave you strength too and clear stomach when it’s plain water.. I love warm water
The sf fortune cookies were in 2 forms! The pink/white normal fortunes... and the yellow fortunes... adult themed fortunes.... yellow nasties (though I’m not sure if it’s still the same these days)
I am chinese but i FREAKING love ICE WATER

Tittle: “Why Chinese people always drink hot water.”
Me, a chinese person: I like ice water,
oml same
Same lol
Me too lol
Are you born in China?
Steel Current probably not
I LIKE cold but I should drink warm/hot. I do have hot tea a lot. I’m going to try this.
Nowadays i prefer drinking my water warm... not boiling hot but around 45-50 degrees C warm. It’s a mix of hot and cold. My teeth are sensitive to cold so it’s more comfortable for me. Also i make the water slightly acidic with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, before and after a meal this also helps my digestion. Drink it with a straw as the acidity could eat your teeth enamel.
Who else drinks hot water once a day
Yea it's called coffee😉☝️
Green tea count the same
I drink more than 1 time a dqy
I only drink cold water
@@Randomdude1979 same
Thank you for putting a positive light on China, especially nowadays! I have family that's Chinese, and it's been sad to see them witness xenophobia here in the States. Thanks again for the positivity.
