Cold water or lukewarm for drinking.

Philippines
August 6, 2008 12:27pm CST
Before I sleep I want to post a few discussion and check if other people might get interested. Heehee. Anyways I've been told that drinking cold water makes the stomach feel bloated, or makes it bloated. But then it's so refreshing drinking it. I need to lose weight so my mom always tell me to skip dinner or eat a few biscuits then drink water, water and lots of water. My query is, which is better to drink, cold water or lukewarm water. Thanks to those who will respond. Happy posting at myLot!

it's better to drink lukewarm water because some dieticians say that cold water tends to bloat your stomach. yup, drinking lots of water helps you lose weight and flushes out the toxins in your body.

i personally love cold water. sorry, cool water. not ice cold but below room temperature. it essentially serves the basic purpose of drinking water. it quenches your thirst. hot water does not provide you with such a feeling. and yes, about losing weight through this approach, make some luke warm water in the morning. squeeze half of a lemon into it and sip it slowly. you will see a reduction of about 1 kg in a month. try this out and do let me know.

Wow! A very nice tip there. A plus for you. I'll try it out, but can I use other citric fruit? Lemon is quite expensive in the Philippines. But I'll try it out. Thanks. Thank you for this great response. Have a very nice day.

Grandmothers, ayurveda, home remedies, acupressure, all these say that we should always drink lukewarm water specially after we eat something oily as hot water clears the oiliness and pushes if forward. But now a days I read somewhere that if you are drinking cold ice water, you loose weight because body burns lot of calories to bring this ice cold water to normal temperature of body. Personally I don't like cold water as immediately I feel problems in my throat. Unless and until it is very very hot, I avoid ice or ice cold water. I would say, drinking lukewarm water is much better. Nice discussion.

Wow. Even ayurveda? Then I'm sold. I know for a fact that doctors in India becomes successful because they are introduced early on with ayurveda. So then it's a fact for me already that lukewarm water is good. But it's a good information too, that cold water stuff you've written. I'll try to balance my intake of the two from now on, gonna work out on the how and when. Thanks so much for this information and have a very nice day/night.

I drink cold water when it’s lunch time since it’s really hot here in our country during noon time. I live in a tropical country, we have the sun the whole year, and sometimes it just get so hot. But before going to bed, I would drink luke warm water. That’s healthy I believe, because luke warm water will aid digestion. I don’t drink cold drinks that often because am afraid I would get colds and cough with excessive cold drinks. My aunt also told me to drink a glass of luke warm water just after you wake up in the morning, she said that it’s healthy when you do that too. She has not have colds for a year now after doing that practice..but I don’t know, I usually forget and immediately eat when I wake up in the morning!

Tropical country? I assume you're also a Filipino. If so, hi kabayan! If not, I stand corrected heehee. That's the deal for me, I'm used to drinking cold water because it's so hot here. But I feel much better when drinking lukewarm, but it's not refreshing at all. That's a good tip, drinking one before and after getting out of the bed. Thanks for that. Have a good night. Thanks for the response.

Hello,Ishralene! You can drink cold water any time,but not at the time of eating your meals because it bloats the stomach and the fats will accumulate in the stomach and create problem in digestion.so it is better to drink lukewarm water.it will flush your system.but I can't drink warm water as it never give good taste like cold water.thanx.

As for me,in summer i prefer cool or cold water,just as cool as possible. it is really enjoyable to drink a full glass of cold water when we outside from baking by the sever sunshine.In winter,i would like to choose lukewarm or hot water because it makes my stomach comfortable and i will get warm after draining hot drink. i think you should choose water accord to the climate in your country,just make yourself feel the best.research shows it is helpful to our body and metabolism system if we drink a glass of water every morning before breakfast. take care and hope you can lose weight in the days to come,actually my mum also wants me to lose weight,but it is too difficult for me,i am too lazy to move in the big house and always stick to my computer.

Thanks for the response. I really feel that lukewarm water is good when trying to clean up your system, since cold water makes me feel really bloated. I guess it's better to drink cold water before eating so that you feel bloated and eat less or the right amount. Thanks for the response and have a good night.

I prefer cold water for drinking. Most of the time with ice. It tastes better to me. I have never felt bloated from drinking it. I cannot say I have had a drink of lukewarm water.

I have heard that warm water is better for the digestive stystem than cold water. I also read that it is a good idea to start the morning out with some warm water and a squirt of lemon it is suppossed to help liver function and helps to release toxins. I do it when I think about it, and I can do that once a day. I don't think that I could just drink warm water all day, that seems kind of gross to me. But they say it is the better way to go.

Warm water is just gross, I hate it when cold water has been out on a table for ages and is starting to go to room temperature, never mind being luke warm. Also skipping dinner is not a good idea to loose weight, because yes you will loose weight, but you will also get hungry and more likely to binge (ruining your diet) and then if you do manage to stick to it as soon as you loose the weight and start to eat normally the weight will all go back on.

Cold water is a refreshment, but I prefer drinking lukewarm water to avoid sore throat. :)

I also believe it's a refreshment. So far the only time I get sore throat is by eating excessive sweets, and to relieve it I drink cold water. Pretty ironic eh? Well, thanks for the response and have a very nice day/night.

It you want to lose weight, i suggest you drink water 1 hr. after meal, in this way ur stomach won't bloat. I prefer to drink luke warm water then cold water every after meal. This will help burn fats.

lukewarm water does not sound very good to me. The water i drink has to be alittle bit cool at least. I always have to drink some water at night becasue I go to sleep with taking some aspirin and I need to drink a full glass of water to have the aspirin settle in my stomach.

Yeah, I realize now that for most people lukewarm water is warm. Guess I could have put neutral, eh. But then it feels warm because of the temperature here, hehe. A little bit cool, that's how I wanted it too. Well, mother's know best, but if she can't see me might as well not obligate myself eh? hehee. Thanks for the response, have a nice day.

I'm a person who prefers lukewarm water than cold water because i'm used to it.. and whenever i drink cold water, i end up having tonsillitis which in effect destroys my voice.. also, it is also better to drink lukewarm water than cold water because drinking cold water causes me to have brain freeze and it hurts.. i think it happens to me because i'm not used to drink cold water..
