Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Drinking warm water daily in the morning flushes/clears out the kidney toxins and fat deposit in the intestine through the urinary region.

Hydration: Drinking hot water is generally safe and can be soothing, but it does not have a direct proven benefit specifically for kidney health. Staying well-hydrated is important for kidney function, so drinking enough fluids—whether warm or cold—is key.
-
Temperature of Water: The temperature (hot or cold) does not significantly impact kidney health.
-
Other Factors: Maintaining a balanced diet, controlling blood pressure, and managing blood sugar are more critical for kidney health.
If there are any existing kidney issues or concerns, it’s best to consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice. Overall, drinking warm water can be part of a healthy hydration routine but is not a specific treatment for kidney health.

I'm a bit worried because I've noticed my urine is really foamy. I did some tests, and my uric acid is 7.2, and creatinine is 1.1. Also, I feel like I need to pee really often after drinking water. Plus, there's this annoying pain in my foot. Can you tell me what's going on and what I should do next?
