cold water burns calories

Tweet

I've read about this one. Drinking chilled water helps you burn off calories. And hot water pretty much do the same thing to our body. This is explained by simple thermodynamics principle that the body consumes energy to lower or increase the temperature of the water thus burning calories. Though it is not that much, it still helps to get rid of few calories. I hope it works the same way on ice cream and diet soda. But ofcourse it works better using water coz water contains zero calories. Just don't try to overdrink water coz it can kill you to drink too much at once. And drink chilled water at the right time only because not only it would give you a bad brain freeze, it can also impair mental performance if you drank cold water when you're not really thirsty(as what I've read in a medical magazine). Brain freeze is bad for people with heart problems. Ofcourse exercise is still the best way to burn calories, and a glass of cold water is the best refreshment after a good work-out, that would double the burning power.
