Hot Take: You Should be Drinking Hot Broth in Hot Weather

Lemon and parsley broth recipe

Hot broth? On a hot day? Yes, we’re serious.

You may typically default to an iced latte or frozen treat on a sweltering summer day, but the truth is that hot broth can actually ease your system in warm weather. Here’s why.

Hot days mean more sweat. This can lead to dehydration.

Brodo naturally replenishes key electrolytes, like sodium and potassiumwhich allow the body to rehydrate and retain water in the areas that need it most.

Sun + skin = wrinkles. Maybe not right away, but overexposure can severely damage skin elasticity as you age.

The collagen protein packed into every ounce of Brodo promotes skin elasticity. Regular bone broth consumption can help to tighten and strengthen sun-exposed skin (…although you should never forget to wear sunscreen, too!).

Pollen thrives in the summertime. And pollen is one of the most common causes of itching, sneezing and other pesky hot weather allergy symptoms.

Brodo contains compounds like glutamine, cysteine and carnosinewhich help to build up the body’s immunity. A strong immune system equips us to fight off common allergens from the get-go.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, hot beverages are superior to iced.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, hot beverages expel excess humidity, detoxify, and relax the body. Cold beverages are said to do the opposite. In fact, in China you’re more likely to receive a glass of hot water instead of iced if you order water at a restaurant.

Cold Beverages May Aggravate Certain Health Conditions

Many people can tolerate cold beverages without issue. But some people find that drinking cold beverages can trigger migraines, slow digestion, cause excess gas or cramping, and/or impair of nutritent absorption. If you suffer from migraines or digestive issues already, sipping hot beverages over cold ones may help.
