Cold Water VS. Warm Water

amruden

A friend of mine (i use the term loosely) And i have been having a conversation at the gym about if it is better for you to drink Warm(almost hot) water or Cold water.

Just want to know everyone's input.

I'm no expert, but I've heard that Chinese traditional medicine recommends body temperature water rather than ice water. Less of a shock to the stomach supposedly. Personally, I enjoy cold water and find it more refreshing.

drinking water regularly for meals cold just taste better to me... but during a workout that ur body is really hot i also heard that it was bad to drink ice cold water, think it has to do something with ur core temp. and cramps. maybe its an urban legend but i prefer room temp. water when im working out anyway.
