Hot/warm water

[Loveless]

I burn easily so I can't drink hot water... and I only really drink warm water my my tummy hurts. D;

Otherwise cold/room temperature for me.

Burn easily, as in externally right? I've never heard of anyone experiencing internal burning. o.o

NVM if you don't want to share.

O.O You're speaking figuratively right?

And okay, I get it.

How is drinking warm water better for your body? I'm genuinely curious. Do you have some sort of citation?

I have also heard you should never drink anything cold when you eat. It was something about the cold affecting the way our body handles the fat in the food. But I am by far no expert on the matter, so not sure how true it is.

I think the hot/warm vs cold water thing is a matter of which seems to soothe your throat better. I find hot/warm drinks soothe my throat when it's sore much better, while colds seem to irritate it. Cold drinks numb my throat, which helps for a little but generally my throat comes back feeling a little worse. On the other hand, hot/warm drinks help with the inflammation and phlegm I get from a sore throat. This is based on what I experience. Can't give citations cause it's based on old home (not my home) remedies.

However, I can confirm the calories your body wastes heating cold water doesn't really factor in. I'm sure that process uses less than 1 calory.

Doesn't hot water have iron in it? o_O

Cold. Today made me happy. It was rainy, cold, then around noon it became a bit overcast, with blue sky, but still cool.

I hate heat. D: It's evil.
