While water in general is low in calories and high in detoxification, ice-cold water renders the most effective for weight loss. When consumed, ice-cold water forces the body to work at keeping warm, burning more calories through heat and speeding up the metabolism altogether. Actually, eating, drinking, or doing anything HOT or COLD makes your body scramble to maintain a comfortable, warm temperature: HOT yoga, tea, spicy food, and soup as well as COLD activities i.e. skiing, skating, etc., ice cream, and frozen yogurt.
