The best feeling on hot days is when you drink a glass of cold water.
This feeling is priceless, especially when you have spent a considerable amount of time under the scorching summer sun. However, according to experts, cold water after long exposure to the sun causes a literal shock to the body.
According to them, the digestive system is the first to encounter difficulties in the processing of cold water. The latter causes contraction of the esophagus and then pain in the chest and stomach.
“Drinking cold water after exposure to the sun causes a real shock” according to the American doctor Harry Emmerich.
“Cold water will cause spasms, a drop in heart rate and blood temperature,” he added.
Cold water also causes other problems
A study referred to by AgroWeb.org explains that drinking cold water on a hot day can trigger migraines. Moreover, if you drink cold water while eating, the latter will pass through the esophagus with more difficulty. Cold water causes digestive problems and promotes constipation. According to folk medicine experts, drinking cold water with hot food disrupts the balance in the body.
Water at room temperature is best
There are people who claim that room temperature water does not quench thirst, especially on hot summer days.
This is not true, because people confuse thirst with the feeling of being hot. Of course water at room temperature does not have a cooling effect and does not lower body temperature, however when it comes to hydration, it does a great job. Drinking water at room temperature not only improves digestion but also blood circulation and cleansing the body of toxins./AgroWeb.org
