In other words, if you drink cold water, your body will expend energy (burn calories) to heat the water. Remember that experts recommend drinking 1.5 to 2 liters of water (6 to 8 glasses of 25 cal per day, that is to say standard drinks).

From the definition of a calorie, we can understand that water ice (3.3 ° C) should be increased to 33.7 ° C (37 ° C – 3.3 ° C = 33.7 ° C) to reach the temperature of the body. This means that your body burns calories for every 33.7 1000 grams or 4 glasses of cold water (3.3 ° C) consumed.

So, drink 8 glasses of cold water to 3.3 ° C per day will burn about 67.4 calories than if you drank eight glasses of warm water at 37 ° C (at the same temperature as the body) .
On the basis of human physiology and the definition of a calorie, we can see that drinking cold water makes calories. Now comes the question of how this impacts your ability to lose weight.
