It is generally found that only China people like to drink hot water, while foreigners drink cold water all the year round. So is it better to drink cold water or hot water?

"Drinking cold water will cause diarrhea" is a sentence that many parents will teach their children now, so many times we will come into contact with boiled water. People in China often think that only boiled water, without impurities and toxic substances, can be safely drunk.

But this is not the case abroad. First of all, westerners think there is nothing in boiling water. It is impolite to entertain others. The concept of adding ice to water or even "using ice to receive VIP medicine" has penetrated into the hearts of westerners, so westerners often drink ice water even in winter.

Secondly, foreign tap water can be directly drunk. Because the water source control there is much better than that in China, you don't need to boil before drinking. In fact, the taste of pure cold water is not very good, so many people like to drink it with ice cubes, which will make the water delicious. After a long time, we got into the habit of drinking like this.

In China, we all know that environmental pollution is getting worse. Therefore, most of the water sources in China are not polluted. The seemingly clear tap water actually contains too many harmful substances, such as heavy metals, bacteria and many compounds, which enter the water source through various pollutions.

However, the production process of tap water in China is not strict, which will cause more pollutants and bacteria in tap water in China. If we drink like this, it will have a great impact on our health. Therefore, people in China often use boiled water to help tap water become cleaner. It is not easy for children to have diarrhea, and it is not easy for adults to get sick.

There is also a traditional concept in China, that is, drinking hot water will not cause great stimulation to the stomach, and it can protect our stomach environment well. Drinking ice water will stimulate the stomach and diarrhea. Long-term drinking may also lead to colds and weakness. Therefore, China people have a unique view on ice water.

But in fact, neither China people nor foreigners can insist on drinking only ice water or hot water. According to everyone's physique, some people will not have any abnormalities after drinking ice water, and even their physique will improve, so it is not necessary to rule out drinking ice water.

Similarly, if your body is fragile and it is easy to have diarrhea when drinking cold water, then drink as much hot water as possible, at least it can protect your body well. When drinking ice water, you should also be careful not to drink it directly with ice like foreigners.

That's why we like to drink hot water.
