I once heard that if you drink cold water your body will burn calories warming it up. We are not talking a ton of calories for those that are counting but I suppose it could add up over the day.
Yes. Before your body can use the water it has to warm it.
I helped run the drug test program for my Guard unit. If people couldn't fill the bottle (besides probably testing hot) they drank more water. If it was cold water it took longer.
I come from country where everything was treated with heat and consumed non cooled. Are you a cold blooded body? No. Then why would you consume anything that is cold? How does cold influence your say GI tract lining? It constricts it. WHY? For what good reason? Even refrigerated water is too cold for normal GI function.
Different story is that ice cold water dulls taste receptors in your mouth. This is why it is so much propagated in this country as, most of what you can swallow very cold tastes terrible when room temperature. Also, when you buy a Big Gulp anywhere, you are actually buying ice with some fluid added to it.
Also, when you put anything into your GI tract during exercise, it, per reflex, draws blood into there. Also, nervous system attention is drawn to it. May I ask you this. Where do you want your blood and your nervous system concentration, when you exercise? On your stomach or on your say muscle?
Please, spare me what is said in media etc. I happen to have 11 years of medical universities and have quite good idea how human body operates. It is not made for cold anything. It is black on white physiological fact.
Coors, Budweiser and Miller know this. It's why they always show their beers being served ice cold.
I noticed for a while now that people in the gym have ice with water in their bottles. Does it make a difference in your workout, or body to have ice in your water, or is it just a preference thing?
I am thinking since it is colder it might affect the body in a different way, but i don't know my chemistry. Thanks.
Widespread refrigeration only been around for less then 100 years but suddenly no one can drink warm liquids LOL
But anyway it not chemistry its thermodynamics, the branch of physical science that deals with the relations between heat and other forms of energy (such as mechanical, electrical, or chemical energy), and, by extension, of the relationships between all forms of energy.
What is the difference between calories and kilocalories? The "calorie" we refer to in food is actually kilocalorie. One (1) kilocalorie is the same as one (1) Calorie (upper case C). A kilocalorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water one degree Celsius. What's in Food FAQs | Nutrition.gov https://www.nutrition.gov/subject/whats-in-food/faqs
1 calorie will raise 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius. If 1 g of water is given 2 calories, its temperature will go up 2 degrees. Melting ice at 0 degrees Celsius: It takes 80 calories to melt 1 gram of ice.
That's why when you put hot water into a cup of ice the ice wins

Its best to eat as much asparagus as possible before drug testing.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida gas station owner has placed a sign in his store asking customers not to warm urine in the microwave. Parul Patel says he's become "sick and tired" of people walking into his BP gas station and On the Fly convenience store in Jacksonville to warm their containers of urine. The store is within walking distance of two labs that offer drug testing services and collect urine samples.
