However, there are health reasons to think twice before drinking refrigerated water.

Digestive Issues

[{"selector":"#anim-ef9b5604-469e-47ac-b8db-ae2f897f6471","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":700,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6a1f64e8-a4b6-4a7a-8958-0c03778a4f78","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 611.11078%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":400,"duration":700,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9fab699f-ee51-45c8-806d-2052991024dc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1000,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Cold water constricts blood vessels and slows digestion. Room temperature water aids smoother digestion.

Slowed Metabolism

[{"selector":"#anim-5cb17356-fb6a-4d40-a911-731eba8ab87f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":700,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d749a11b-9feb-41ce-b7bd-36f0630c2cbc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 642.14523%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":400,"duration":700,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2fd4e745-f690-4053-861d-c19cdf371f53","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1000,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Your body uses extra energy to warm up cold water, lowering metabolic efficiency. Warm water supports better metabolism.

Sore Throat and Congestion

[{"selector":"#anim-6882805f-f770-42c9-af45-7bac0b627233","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":700,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9e09890a-1fdb-4679-bb58-1c385f2e4914","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 569.73145%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":400,"duration":700,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f2be2ddb-d80f-4b7f-bfb8-48c1defe94f3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1000,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Cold water irritates mucous membranes, causing sore throat and congestion. Warm water helps prevent these issues.

Reduced Immunity

[{"selector":"#anim-4cbacce2-2677-4d84-9bf2-0e67f4e6eb30","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":700,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0eae6abf-e583-417c-a078-a2c5cc8c1c20","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 635.24856%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":400,"duration":700,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c24f086b-1adb-4543-8a8a-399eed8e3554","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1000,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Cold water can weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to illnesses. Room temperature water maintains immune defenses.

Decreased Hydration

[{"selector":"#anim-524bb95b-f09e-42f5-a056-f163f02dc51f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":700,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c01b3156-df41-4b7e-87da-7ddfd12cb890","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 607.66234%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":400,"duration":700,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-54db40cb-746a-4970-b6bb-9aa4c2dd339a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1000,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Cold water may reduce your desire to drink, leading to less hydration. Room temperature water encourages consistent drinking.

Aggravates Conditions

[{"selector":"#anim-079006b8-576b-44a2-bcb2-b30d6c8090ad","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":700,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a82488b7-1097-4c5e-ae8f-728f55fb13b0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 624.90368%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":400,"duration":700,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f052ef05-cbe7-4b30-b0a3-c221c7a6ad35","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1000,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Cold water can trigger discomfort in migraines and sensitive teeth. Warm water is gentler on these conditions.

Optimal Health Benefits
