Can ice water help you lose weight?
This is very interesting!!

This is a study where they had children drink 2 glasses of ice water. One hour later, they checked their body's metabolism... or how many calories the children's bodies were burning every minute. They checked it continuously, and 25 minutes later they discovered the amount of calories burned (while doing nothing) went up a "significant amount"... and their metabolisms continued to rise all the way up to an hour! In fact, they burned 25% more calories/minute at that hour mark than they did before drinking the water!
Of course studies always need to be repeated to make sure there wasn't some other factor that influenced the study, but ice water is something that can't hurt you... so I say drink up!
