Burning Calories: Drink Ice Water
For anyone trying to lose weight, this question is bound to raise a lot of excitement. Surely
losing weight cannot be such a simple issue, can it? Well, the answer is YES!
You can actually lose calories by drinking ice water. Your body loses calories in the process of
warming this ice water to the body temperature. Now any enthusiast, must surely be thinking, if
we can lose weight by drinking ice water, can we lose a large amount of calories if we drink lots
of ice water? Well, to answer this question we have to look at some simple calculations.
First of all we need to distinguish between calories and Calories. Calories (i.e. with a big c) are
used to denote the amount of energy that is contained in food. Where as calorie with a small c is
used to denote the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree
Celsius.
Another interesting fact is that it takes, 1 Calorie to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water
by 1 degree Celsius. So when you are drinking a 140-Calorie can of cola, you are in fact
ingesting 140,000 calories in your body. This is the same when you burn say 100 Calories
working out, this means that you have actually burned 100,000 calories.
The main purpose of telling you that the definition of calories is based on the rising of
temperature is to tell you an interesting fact. We have just seen that when our body raises the
temperature, it burns calories, so when you drink ice cold water your body loses calories in
raising that ice cold water to body temperature.
Now let us get the math right.
Our body temperature is at 37 degree Celsius.
The temperature of ice cold water can be safely said to be 0 degree Celsius.
There are 473.18 grams in 16 fluid ounces of water.

It takes 1 calorie to raise 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.
So, if your body raises the temperature of 473.18 grams of water by 37 degree Celsius it burns
17508 calories.
But this is calorie with a small c. It actually denotes only 17.5 calories. You might be thinking
that losing 17.5 Calories doesn’t count much compared to the calories we intake.
But, you are not going to drink just one 16 once glass of water are you? Even if you stick to the
recommended minimum of 8 glasses of water you will end up burning 70 Calories in a day and
that too by doing practically nothing. You can also increase the water intake if you want to shed
a few extra pounds.
Well, although it is definite that drinking ice cold water helps you to burn calories you should not
try to replace it with exercise. You should continue with all the weight reduction methods that
you already on to. You can just boost up your effort by drinking ice cold water.
