Warm/hot water vs. Cold water... does it really matter?

Interesting question.. Cold water is very refreshing, especially during summer time & I just found out that, in order to use it, your body has to use calories heat it.

Warm water helps food digestion (softens it), increase body temperature & blood flow.

Personally, I prefer room temp water.  My own opinion is that as long as you stay hydrated you'll be fine.

ice cold for the caloric burn

I prefer drinking water at room temperature too or when I'm out and about. But with it being summer now, cold water is so much more refreshing. I say, whatever tickles you fancy as long as you keep drinking water, it doesn't really matter.

Thanks Eric M... I prefer room temperature water too. :)
