<v Speaker 1>dot com where smart happens. Hi Am Marshall Brain with

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:34.240
<v Speaker 1>today's question. Does drinking ice water burn calories? For anyone

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.600
<v Speaker 1>who's trying to lose weight? This question is an exciting one.

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 1>If you simply want to know if your body burns

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>calories warming up the water, the answer is yes. But

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:46.559
<v Speaker 1>if you want to know if drinking a lot of

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:50.160
<v Speaker 1>ice water can help you lose weight or keep weight off,

0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>this yes needs to be qualified with some calculations. Here's

0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the definition of a calorie. It takes one calorie to

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>raise the temperature of one liter of water one degree celsius. So,

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>considering that the definition of a calorie is based on

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.680
<v Speaker 1>raising the temperature of water, it's safe to say that

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:13.679
<v Speaker 1>your body burns calories when it has to raise the

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:17.400
<v Speaker 1>temperature of ice water to your body temperature. So calories

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:21.119
<v Speaker 1>are being burned. Let's figure out exactly what you're burning.

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>When you drink a sixteen ounce or point five liter

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.199
<v Speaker 1>glass of ice water, the temperature of the ice water

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:32.399
<v Speaker 1>can be estimated to be zero degrees celsius. Body temperature

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 1>can be estimated at thirty seven degrees celsius. So in

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 1>the case of a half lead glass of ice water,

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 1>your body must raise the temperature of the half liter

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>of water from zero to thirty seven degrees celsius. In

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>doing so, your body burns seventeen and a half calories.

0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>In the grand scheme of a two thousand calorie diet,

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>that's seventeen and a half calories isn't very significant. But

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 1>let's say you adhere to the old eight eight ounce

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>glasses of water a day idea. To warm up all

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 1>that water in the course of a day, your body

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>burns about seventy calories, and over time that seventy calories

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 1>a day can add up. You can increase the effect

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:17.519
<v Speaker 1>by chewing on ice. It takes eighty calories to melt

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.920
<v Speaker 1>a liter of ice, so if you freeze half of

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 1>your daily water intake and eat that ice, you'll burn

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>an extra eighty calories for more on this and thousands

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 1>of other topics. Because it has stuff works dot com,
