Cold Water speeds up your Metabolism and other tips

[Organic]

@cpvr It looks like other people caught the mistake but I thought I'd drop by too because I was confused when I saw the topic. I guess it is possible that it metabolizes faster but it hinders digestion.

Maybe a good tip would be digestive enzymes. Or lemon... Lemon helps with digestion.

That was expected, I read about the lemon water earlier but I forgot the link. When eating, you could drink something warm so it helps with the digestion. And plus, drinking water before a meal can make you feel more full. It's the same as eating extra fiber as well.

Cold water all the way, hot water is meh

I love cold water as well, normally I drink half or our whole 4 liter jug a day lol

It takes exactly one Nutrition Calorie to heat 1l(1kg) of water by 1 degree Celsius. Your body is 37.5 degrees and cold water is about 10. So to heat the 2 litres of water per day from 10 to 37.5 we get
37.5-10=27.5 (number of degrees to raise the temperature of 1litre) * 2(2litres) = 55 calories

If you hear that it takes 55,000 then that's technically correct too, because Nutrition calories are actually 1000 times what is sometimes called a calorie by scientists. (The amount of energy that heats 1g of water 1 degree)

The hot water vs cold thing is from some Asian cultures. Chinese medicine says to drink hot water instead of cold http://www.phdpedia.com/?p=223
If you go to restaurants in China it's pretty weird to have super spicy food served with hot water to drink, but sometimes they don't even have cold. People do drink cold water too, but they usually buy it outside on hot days.

This is what I go by:
Drink whatever temperature of water you like and it will all even out, just make sure to get enough water. You don't even need 8 glasses a day if you eat a lot of water in food, but you should not get your water from coffee, tea, pop, or alcohol because those are diuretics, which makes your body release water. You should also drink more water if you eat a lot of sodium.

I drink water at room temperature mostly all the time, but whenever I eat something oily / greasy I drink warmer water... apparently it helps with your digestion. It never gets too warm where I live, so I don't have to keep drinking cold water. ~

I only drink hot water if I'm sick, but even then I don't like it.

I am so picky with what I eat/drink that I'll refuse to drink water that isn't ice-cold (slightly cold is sometimes passable). I'm so weird. XP (at school I'll get these water bottles but if it isn't cold enough I won't drink it) Also, one of my all-time favorite snacks are ice cubes, so yeah, I like stuff to be cold.

This one time I bought these ice blocks and set one of them in one of those large class bowls. I poured hot water into it to start the melting. It took me a whole day but I was able to drink one of the large blocks. :3 (I think it was 5 lbs, so it was pretty big)

I hate when there's no ice in the house. -_-

I usually don't like cold drinks. I prefer room-temp/cool. I can't enjoy water when it's really cold. Interesting tid-bit of news though.

Yeah, I do drink a lot of cold water. It helps me a lot. (:

The weight training bullet scares me.. x_X I have a fear of weights.. I never used to have that but now I do. I constantly think they are going to crush me </3
