Myth: Warm water melts body fat.

What science says

Body fat is not melted by warm liquids; it is used as energy when intake is lower than expenditure. Water temperature changes energy use only trivially.

BhojVigyan take

Drink water at whatever temperature you prefer. For weight goals, look at portions, fried and sugary foods, sleep and activity.
