00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: dot com where smart happens. Hi Am Marshall Brain with

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: today's question. Does drinking ice water burn calories? For anyone

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: who's trying to lose weight? This question is an exciting one.

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: If you simply want to know if your body burns

11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: calories warming up the water, the answer is yes. But

12
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: if you want to know if drinking a lot of

13
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: ice water can help you lose weight or keep weight off,

14
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: this yes needs to be qualified with some calculations. Here's

15
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: the definition of a calorie. It takes one calorie to

16
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: raise the temperature of one liter of water one degree celsius. So,

17
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: considering that the definition of a calorie is based on

18
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: raising the temperature of water, it's safe to say that

19
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: your body burns calories when it has to raise the

20
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: temperature of ice water to your body temperature. So calories

21
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 1: are being burned. Let's figure out exactly what you're burning.

22
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: When you drink a sixteen ounce or point five liter

23
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 1: glass of ice water, the temperature of the ice water

24
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: can be estimated to be zero degrees celsius. Body temperature

25
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: can be estimated at thirty seven degrees celsius. So in

26
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: the case of a half lead glass of ice water,

27
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: your body must raise the temperature of the half liter

28
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: of water from zero to thirty seven degrees celsius. In

29
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: doing so, your body burns seventeen and a half calories.

30
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: In the grand scheme of a two thousand calorie diet,

31
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: that's seventeen and a half calories isn't very significant. But

32
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: let's say you adhere to the old eight eight ounce

33
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: glasses of water a day idea. To warm up all

34
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: that water in the course of a day, your body

35
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: burns about seventy calories, and over time that seventy calories

36
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: a day can add up. You can increase the effect

37
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: by chewing on ice. It takes eighty calories to melt

38
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: a liter of ice, so if you freeze half of

39
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: your daily water intake and eat that ice, you'll burn

40
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: an extra eighty calories for more on this and thousands
