Increasing fluid loss in the scorching heat of the summer months creates the need for abundant water consumption. Experts warn that cold water should be drunk sip by sip, not gulp by gulp.
Experts recommend consuming 2-2.5 liters of cold water a day to prevent fluid loss in increasing temperatures. Drinking cold water during exercise makes the training more efficient. Stating that cold water has benefits as well as harms, experts warn against drinking cold water if there is an acute, chronic or seasonal illness.
Stating that cold water consumption increases considerably during the hot summer months, Dyt. Hülya Cihan said, “This can become a habit in some people and continue in the winter period. When we look at the benefits of cold water, especially during exercise, cold water consumption helps the training to be more efficient. This is due to the normalization of the body temperature that increases during training and at the same time, since a lot of fluid is lost during exercise, we recommend cold water consumption at the point of replacing these fluids quickly. But what we need to pay attention to here is that we need to take care to drink sip by sip, not gulp by gulp.”
