Answer 1

cold is better because it hydrates you more and is better for your body temperature

Answer 2

No, cold is better as it is refreshing and cleans your teeth better due to just about minimum bacteria in it, compared to roomtemperaturw water..(bleh)

Answer 3

Cold has a better taste to it but room temperature water is perfectly fine, I drink it all the time.

Answer 4

I think cold is better because then your body has to heat it to body temperature which burns calories in the process!

Answer 5

Cold water is. How ever frozen water is better. Not completly frozen. I Drink about 10 bottles of water a day. I fill 2 up & put 2 in the freezer. The others I have in the door of fridge. When the bottles start to freeze bout half way I take out I drink . When I take a bottle out I put another back in. Takes bout 3 hrs to get it froze where you want it.

This method helps you burn alot of calories. Reason for this is because your body trys to warm you back up to temp & your body burns calories to warm you back up.  I lose bout 3-5 pounds/wk.. In the spring & summer.

Answer 10

Well it depends.

If water is cold it needs to be raised to body temperature before it is used. This can burn more calories while your body heats up. But if it is hot outside and you are outdoors then you do not want your body to jump in to heat up mode.

Water that is closer to body temperature can be used by your body much quicker. This is vital if you have been exerting yourself and need hydrated or it if is hot out and you need to replace liquids for that reason too.

Answer 11

room temp. water is easier for your body to absorb but cold water cools you off faster . but when it comes down to it water is water unless you flavor it then its just flavored water

Answer 15

There are nutritionally the same.

However, drinking cold water causes your metabolism to speed up because your body has to work harder to maintain it's normal temperature.
