It's hot. How about drinking ice water?

In hot weather, drinking ice water can give people a feeling of instant cooling, but it is not necessarily the best choice. Studies have shown that drinking warm water can quench thirst better than drinking ice water, because warm water can be absorbed by the body faster, while ice water needs the body to consume more energy to heat up to body temperature.

In addition, drinking ice water may cause vasoconstriction, affect the circulatory system and digestive system in the body, and may also cause stomach discomfort, because ice water may cause stomach muscle contraction.

So, on the whole, drinking warm water in hot weather may be a better choice. However, if you like to drink ice water, don't worry too much. Drinking ice water in moderation will not cause obvious adverse effects on the body.
