For a while now and I’ve started doing it,I do drink tea and ginger and lemon tea,but I do go for cooling down boiled water as well now.
Apparently if you like your stools smooth it’s the way to go.As well as other health benefits. [Post edited 15 Nov 2025 11:54]

Life is too short for that. How is it more beneficial than tea?
You can drink ice water. It's still going to end up at 37 degrees so i'm intrigued by this... |  |

What's not pure about tea? A little caffeine and tons of great benefits.
Each to their own though. | |

Tho, particularly in chalky-water Suffolk, it causes at least some of the limescale minerals to drop out. So would soften it a bit. |  |

It would, but the calcium is good for your teeth and bones and the magnesium is good for you too. The only benefit of boiling it would be killing bacteria which the chlorine in it should do anyway and possibly removing some of the chlorine.
As well as the harmful effect of too much sodium, this is why those with water softeners are advised to drink hard water from the separate drinking tap. |  |

That's the smoothest stool I have seen for some time.
I find the biggest difference is fibre. I had a loaf of white bread instead of my usual wholemeal a couple of weeks ago and it took a week to get back to my usual pattern. | |

Belongs in the pointless thread!
Why not just eat wholemeal which is much tastier and healthier? | |

Yes, for Great Bentley area it is (according to Affinity Water's website) 357.5 mg/L, which is well into the "very hard" range (300+). | |

Calcium is good for you, but there's a lot of it in the water in that area. | |

Recommended intake is 700 mg per day with over 1500 mg before suffering potential harmful effects, That is a very large volume of water to ingest to take it to that level (and would give other problems related to over-consumption of water). https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/ | |

The world is on target for a 2.6C average temperature increase and you think that boiling water and then cooling it down to drink is a good use of energy.

Nah, brown bread is for peasants and years ago they all died young/prematurely. Must have been the bread. The stuff with birdseed and scrapings from the bottom of a budgie’s cage in it is even worse.
Proper white bread, fresh from the oven and crusty. That’s what you need. Good quality butter and you are good to go.
Did you know the ‘national loaf’ produced during the war was a day old when it was sold? That was because it was easier to cut and people would eat less of it.
As for boiled water it’s going to knock out the impurities and stuff I presume, but doesn’t fluoride do that? In days of yore they of course didn’t drink water. They drank ‘small beer’; even the children drank it. The strength was about half or less than beer now.
I guess with the water companies polluting everything, we may have to go back to that one day. [Post edited 15 Nov 2025 13:40]

Wholemeal bread, not brown! Brown is nowhere near as nice nor as good for you. | |

It’s all chaff to me.
Anyhow, sandwich spread tastes much better on proper, real bread 🙂👍🏻. Toasts better too. | | | |

Ah, yes. That makes sense.
Reminds me of the lady who had never heard of a toilet brush before. On the way into town for the market one week her friend told her all about how wonderful they are so she decided to get one for herself.
The following week her friend asked her how she had got on with it and she said it was wonderful and worked really well. However, her husband really didn't get on with it at all. In fact he was so disappointed with it that he was going to go back to using toilet paper. | |

Tremendous.
When I was a kid, my dad decided we were doing the grand tour. First night we stayed in Bruges. We’d never seen a Continental quilt before so my mum decided you must have to sleep in it. | | | |
