(2,550 posts)Somewhere back in my younger years I heard or read that room temp water is more beneficial than cold as it's more
easily assimilated into the body systems.
In light of this thread i googled --> https://www.google.com/search?q=drink+warm+water+or+cold+water&oq=drink+warm+water+or+cold&aqs=chrome.0.0j69i57j0l4.9918j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

"Warm water helps break down food, aids constipation, and even helps you lose weight while improving your blood circulation. Room temperature can even help stop pains like a headache, which makes it a better alternative than Tylenol. ... So, it's not that cold water is bad for you or better for you."
"When cold water hits the stomach, the body is forced to use energy in order to warm up that liquid inside your body to match that of the body's natural temperature. ... Instead of working to extract all the foods nutrients, your digestive system is instead working on regulating the temperature of the cold drink."<
I'll continue drinking cold water on hot days.
Room temp other times.
Thanks for the thread.
