is drinking too much cold water bad like under -5 degrees?

What I have always heard is that if you have been working outside alot, and you are hot, that you shouldn't drink really cold water because it can actually mess with your heart.  The cold water becomes a complete "shock" to the heart, and could do some bad for you.

generally people prefer about 70 degrees F. It can be lower but people in general will find it too cool. Some might find even 70 overly cool. Remember body temperature is 98 and water is a good conductor of heat. If it is sunny and warm outside, the water can be cooler and feel comfortable than if it is not. On a cloudy cool day, 80 water termperature will feel much better than 70.

Well, I would say not more than 10 minutes, or you may go into shock from the cold water.  As a nurses aid we only let patients have an ice pack on for 10 - 15 min.  ice can burn your skin.  I am South African and we have a saying for Rugby. "Donate Blood! Play Rugby"  Good luck.

2.5 LITERS BECAUSE \n\nIn the past few years studies have shown that many of us don't drink enough water for good health. Along with general healthy eating recommendations, most health promoters have urged us all to drink more water, particularly whilst exercising. The message has been strong - avoid dehydration. \n\n \n\nHowever, there is a different story emerging, especially amongst people who exercise. According to researchers almost as many exercisers are putting their health at risk by over-consuming water as drinking too little.\n\nDrinking water at every opportunity can cause serious problems, such as hyponatraemia or water intoxication. As the water content of the blood increases, the salt content is diluted. Consequently the amount of salt available to body tissues decreases, which can lead to problems with brain, heart and muscle function. \n\n \n\nInitial symptoms of over-hydration include dizziness, nausea, apathy and confusion. However these symptoms are also associated with dehydration - so it's important to be aware of how much you are drinking.\n\nIs there cause for alarm? The British Dietetic Association guidelines state that an average adult should consume 2.5 litres of water per day. This intake needs to be increased during periods of hot weather or during and after periods of physical activity. \n\n \n\nYou can get your daily water requirements from sources other than pure water - your cup of tea counts! Water is the main ingredient of all drinks – carbonated drinks and still drinks, fruit juices and fruit and vegetables all have a high water content

It will kill you.\nYou wont allow your body time to process the water and you will develop hyponatremia. This occurs when we consume to much water, and the water dilutes the concentration of the body's sodium.\n\nIt is smarter to drink could water, then warm water. The cold water makes your body work harder, as it likes to make the water body temp. So drink cold water to speed up your metabolism. But do it in moderation.\n\nI have a special report on how to speed up your metabolism.\nGot to my site, sign up for the newsletter and I'll email it to you.\nGOD BLESS

Cold water is the best in this situation. Ice is too cold and can damage the surrounding area.

It won't make you a better singer. The warm water relaxes your vocal cords so you are at the best of your abilities. It hurts your vocal chords to always drink ice cold water or walk into extremely cold place after being in the heat. You just have to keep your vocal chords warm so you can sound the best. Happy Holidays!

well lets see, if cold water is anything above 0 Centigrade and hot water is anything under boiling....my money is on the hot winning. What I can not understand is why you asked?

I drink orange juice and water; I still get the cold. Cannot stop viruses, that's my immune system's job.

Cold water probably washes away some of the lubrication (phlegm, I guess) from your throat and can make a tickle worse or make a cough drier and more persistent. Something that coats your throat would make a cough go away, and water, as great as it is, does just the opposite.

u can't have water upto 40 below zero!!!\nthe lowest temp(in centigrade) u can reach is -12 c \nthis is achieved by a process called super cooling\nin this the temp of the surroundings is controlled, and care is taken that the surface of the water is not disturbed\nsimilarly u can super heat water upto 137 c

I would rather a drink since it is right now 30 degrees celsius and i could use a nice glass of water.

No.  You would have to heat the cold water up to the temperature that the hot water is at and then go past it to get to the boiling point.  It works in reverse when freezing.  Hot water will not freeze faster than cold, because you have to remove heat just to get to the point the cold water is already at.\n\nThe cool part is you can do this experiment at home.  Put two pans on to boil, one with cold the other with hot, and see which one boils first.  You don't have to take my word for it.

When you feel the cold just starting, drink a shot (one is enough) of any 80 proof alcohol (hope you're over 21 ;). If you were late and the cold is full blown, drink lots of fluids. Common cold is a virus, and viruses wash away. Try tea with lemon or honey, chicken soup is excellent. Avoid things that make you thirsty: carbonated drinks, coffee etc. If you can tolerate warm milk, it's a great thing to have. My colds don't last for more then two days.

Yes, water is very good for your health..It gives you healthy skin, hair, and all around healthy body...\n\nYou should drink 8 glasses of water a day..So if you are drinking 5 bottles of 9 oz. water..you will be okay..\n\nAnd like the person above said..there is such a thing as drinking too much water, but you would have to drink way more than five bottles of it to get water intoxication..Unless you have some other illnesses such as liver disease, but I'm guessing you don't cause then you would know when you should resrict water...\n\nBut the answer to YOUR question is YES that is healthy for you\n\nHope that helps..
