    Do You Drink Hot or Cold Water?
    May 9 2007 - 5:57am Yesterday I told FitSugar that she was crazy for drinking hot tea on such a hot day. That prompted some people in the office to say that they prefer hot water over cold water. My mom is one of those people, she thinks cold water is terrible.

    I drink both. I prefer cold but seriously, when I was backpacking through Central and South America I was warned by locals NOT to drink cold water when I was overheated. Apparently, the locals sip on warm to hot water all day as it is easier on a seriously overheated body to digest. I tried it for one day and was HOOKED! One also told me it helped to "sweat the heat out from inside you..." not sure if that is true, but it did make a huge difference for me!

    Hot water with lemon...ROCKS!

    If I'm cold and want to warm up, then I'll drink tea. But whenever I'm drinking water just for the sake of drinking water, like with dinner, it has to be ice cold. Minimum 4 or 5 ice cubes in the glass.

    It depends; if I need something refreshing, I like it ice cold. In the evenings, when I'm relaxing but don't want anything sugary or flavored, I might drink it hot. I don't enjoy drinking it at room temperature but I've gotten used to it since I keep filling up a water bottle from my office's filtered fridge.

    i like it a little colder than room temp. i'll leave a few bottles out when i get to work and drink on those after a while. it's easier to drink and you'll drink more...i think. same with when i work out...i feel like it tenses me up.

    I prefer cold water, but after visiting with an acupuncturist I've switched to room temperature or warm water. Apparently it's better for you if you have asthma and it's easier for your body to digest.

    i only drink room temperature water because apparenty cold water is bad for your kidneys... and is you let your water get hot in the car... the plastics in the water bottle will get into your water and eventually cause breast cancer... so i drink room temperature water...smart...

    There are NO benefits to drinking hot water. Get real. Regardless of the temperature of ANY liquid before you drink it, as soon as you do drink it, it becomes 98.6 degrees. Thus drinking plain hot water is just another old wives' tale.
