Anybody know about this? I assume the ice water is supposed to increase ur metabolism somehow?

That's the idea.

Yes I heard if u showed in cold water it does boost ur metabolism. It also is good for ur hair.

I think Dr. Oz had a special guest on his show a few months back that said he had done some research on cold water rinses helped metabolism.

Being cold and shivering burns calories .. so maybe it does increase your metabolism, i remember all the skinny children at school shivering when we went swimming and having blue lips lol now i know why they were skinny ! I did read on another post that drinking ice cold water will often tighten the band so to drink it before meals

I think I read a while back that drinking cold water helps you burn calories. Had something to do with thermogenics and your body working to keep body temperature normal and working to warm up after drinking the cold water.

From discovery health.... Learned this at WW several years ago. Bottom line you will burn 70 calories a day drinking 64 oz of ice cold Water a day.. Doesn't sound like much but doing it everyday can make a difference!

"So, considering that the definition of a calorie is based on raising the temperature of water, it is safe to say that your body burns calories when it has to raise the temperature of ice water to your body temperature. And unless your urine is coming out ice cold, your body must be raising the temperature of the water. So calories are being burned.

Let's figure out exactly what you're burning when you drink a 16-ounce (0.5 liter) glass of ice water:

The temperature of ice water can be estimated at zero degrees Celsius.

Body temperature can be estimated at 37 degrees Celsius.

It takes 1 calorie to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius.

There are 473.18 grams in 16 Fluid ounces of water.

So in the case of a 16-ounce glass of ice water, your body must raise the temperature of 473.18 grams of water from zero to 37 degrees C. In doing so, your body burns 17,508 calories. But that's calories with a little "c." Your body only burns 17.5 Calories, and in the grand scheme of a 2,000-Calorie diet, that 17.5 isn't very significant.

But let's say you adhere to the "eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day" nutritional recommendation. In 64 ounces of water, there are 1,892.72 grams. So to warm up all that water in the course of a day, your body burns 70,030 calories, or 70 Calories. And over time, that 70 Calories a day adds up. So, while you definitely shouldn't depend on ice water consumption to replace exercise or a healthy diet, drinking cold water instead of warm water does, in fact, burn some extra Calories!"

But Dr. Oz had a show stating taking a shower in cold water help you lose weight. And I know for a fact cold water is good foe you hair.
