Why avoid ice water?
The reason I’ve heard is that your body has to work really hard to warm up the cold water, which in turn means you feel warm more quickly once the effect of the cold water wears off. That’s why people in the desert drink warm tea.
Ahh that does kinda make sense to be honest. Thanks!
Also one of the reason why people in hot climates love eating spicy foods, especially during the day. When you eat something spicy, your mouth feels hot, but your body temperature is not actually increased. You'll start sweating, but as your body temperature is not actually increased, you'll ended up cooling your body instead.
