5 side effects of drinking cold water

Divya Aggarwal

Drinking cold water invites a lot of health problems.

The body's supply of essential nutrients is decreased by cold water. As a result, the body is more vulnerable to chronic illnesses and trauma.

Digestive issue

Excessive drinking of cold water can lead to indigestion, diarrhoea, and stomach pain. 

Migraine symptoms

People who do not have migraine issues can also start experiencing migraine symptoms when they drink cold water regularly.

Oxygen reduction

Drinking cold water excessively can reduce the amount of oxygen in the brain, which can affect brain cells or make a person feel dizzy.

Cardiovascular health

Cardiovascular health is negatively impacted by cold water. Having cold water after a meal can cause many cardiovascular problems.

Thyroid

The use of cold water on a regular basis may cause tonsil or thyroid gland growth. 

A cold beverage increases thirst. Therefore, we consume more water. We frequently lose salt from our bodies as we increase the frequency of urinating.
