Many prefer the taste and feel of ice or cold water, and it can be better to drink when you are exercising. When you exercise or are involved in intense activity, your body temperature rises; drinking cold water can help lower your temperature back to normal. This can be important in high heat or strong sun, when you risk heatstroke from strenuous exercise. In addition, cold water is absorbed more quickly into your body than warm water, helping you rehydrate more quickly, according to Columbia University.
So what does this all mean?
Make sure you’re drinking enough water to keep your body hydrated. That’s the real key. Hydration keeps salt from attacking the body as well as help you eliminate unwanted waste.
