Is drinking room temp. water or cold water better for you?

Answer 1

Room temperature water is better for you, but cold water burns more calories.

Answer 2

They say you can drink more room temp water than ice cold water. But neither one is better for you. It's just a matter of preference. Me, I like cold water.

Answer 3

Its said the best way to drink water is at room temp. but people like water cold under warm conditions

Answer 4

Room temperature or cold if fine, but just keep it up. It's good for you and will flush out your system on a regular basis. Some people think that soda will hydrate you, but that's not true. A soda has the opposite affect and actually dehydrates you. The only thing that you can be sure of is water will hydrate you. Cold water to me is more refreshing.

Answer 5

Room temp water is good for your stomach and cold water burns more calories.

Answer 6

Cold water is more of a shock to the system. I actually warm my water up- chugs better, takes twice as long to go through you. These things matter when you drink 2 or 3 litres/day =)

Answer 7

Supposedly, it's better to have it at room temperature because it's a shock on your body and it takes a lot of energy to bring it to body temperature, BUT, drinking cold water burns more calories than room temperature water. I'd say drink whatever temperature you like, as long as you're drinking more water!
