I never knew that. I've always been drinking room-temp bottled water, but will refrigerate it now.

Really? Too cold of water gives me an ice cream headache and I tend to drink much less water if it's cold!

Hmm... I've had athletes tell me that it's better to drink room temperature water, so you don't shock your system. But I do love my ice cold water!

I guess if you drink a sip or two before you work out... then small sips every few min's... it wouldn't be so bad - but yeah, they say the ice cold helps you lose weight -
