Does Ice Cold Water Really Speed Up Your Metabolism?
I have heard different things…
Some people say that Ice cold water speeds up your metabolism and others say it slows it down….I was wondering what your thoughts or comments are on this. Thanks!
I believe drinking cold water will burn calories.
Icy cold water requires that your body warm it up before it can actually use it…therefore burning calories.
It’s not a good idea to do though, if you’re exercising. When you’re exercising, your body needs more hydration, more quickly. So, drinking chilled water (instead of icy cold) will help hydrate your body quicker.
Research has shown that cold water passes through the stomach faster and is therefore sent to the intestines for quicker absorption. During and after exercise, you want to rapidly replace fluids lost due to sweating, so cold water is better than icy cold.
