While many individuals habitually consume ice water, they often express concerns about whether "Is drinking ice water good?" or "What will happen if you drink ice water with a sore throat?"
According to Dr. Dong Xuan Ha, a specialist in endoscopy and gastroenterology at Vinmec Ha Long International General Hospital, regular consumption of ice water can lead to various health issues, including: Pharyngitis; vasoconstriction, dyspepsia and abdominal distension; bradycardia; difficulty in weight management; dental hypersensitivity; and the onset of migraine headaches. While the answer to the question "Is drinking ice water beneficial?" is generally negative, if you find it difficult to abstain from this appealing beverage, consider the following guidelines for safer consumption:
- Opt for chilled water rather than water at excessively low temperatures.
- To avoid getting a sore throat from drinking ice water, catching a cold, or even experiencing heat-related illness (heatstroke), when you come in from the sun or feel thirsty, you should only drink a small amount of ice to cool down. Do not drink extremely cold water immediately.
- Ingest chilled water slowly and deliberately.
