Why do Japanese drink ice water to live longer?
The reason for Japanese longevity lies in the most advanced medical level in the world.

1, Japan's medical services are provided by the people and the medical expenses are borne by the government, which not only ensures efficiency, but also solves the problems of difficult and expensive medical treatment. Longevity is not directly related to the habit of drinking cold water. Drinking cold drinks often can easily induce allergies or colds and coughs; However, hot drinks with too high a temperature can easily burn the esophagus and increase the risk of ulcers and even cancer. Drink plenty of water and the right water temperature, so as not to lose your health and harm your body.

2. The hot spring facilities in Japan are particularly developed. People can not only go to special clubs to soak in hot springs, but also have hot spring facilities in some families. The frequency of soaking in hot springs is very high, which can better eliminate cold and dampness. Soaking in hot springs can dredge the meridians of the whole body, promote blood circulation and help prolong life!

Japanese people are used to eating cold food, three meals a day. The arrangement is probably cold food-hot food-cold food (simple family meal). If dinner is a formal dinner, it may be hot food. Even hot food contains many cold foods, such as fruits, vegetable salads or desserts. Other cold foods, such as vegetables, sashimi, iced milk and iced drinks, are normal.

The reason why Japanese drink ice water.

1, cultural differences, in Japanese, water itself refers to cold water, hot water is called soup, and "ice water" is called cold. Therefore, drinking water directly refers to ice water, while soup is used for making tea or coffee, washing dishes, bathing and other purposes. Subconsciously, they can't imagine how to drink hot water without anything. Once this culture has accumulated, they feel that drinking ice water is better!

2. Infrastructure differences. Domestic water in Japan is filtered direct drinking water, which can be directly drunk, while our domestic water is tap water, which has not been strictly filtered and can not meet the standard of direct drinking, which also urges us to get used to drinking boiled hot water. In Japan, even if you drink water directly, the treated water will inevitably have some "odor", so adding ice can eliminate the odor and taste better!
