Expert Reveals Surprising Truth About Cold Water and Hydration in Summer
Pharmacist Dispels Cold Water Myth: Room Temperature Water Better for Hydration in Heat In a recent viral video, a pharmacist, known as Farmaceuticofernandez, addressed a common misconception about hydration during hot weather. Contrary to popular belief, drinking ice-cold water may not be the most effective way to cool down. According to the pharmacist, consuming very cold water forces the body to work harder to regulate its internal temperature. This metabolic effort generates heat, counteracting the desired cooling effect. "When water is too cold, your body has to expend energy to warm it up to body temperature, which paradoxically creates more heat," he explained. Instead, he recommends opting for room-temperature water. This allows the body to absorb and utilize the fluid more efficiently without expending extra energy on temperature adjustment, leading to more effective hydration and cooling. The pharmacist also briefly mentioned a cultural practice in some African countries where warm liquids are consumed in hot climates to induce sweating, which helps in cooling. However, he noted that this is a cultural norm unlikely to be adopted widely in other regions.
