Last Friday
while I was exercising I switched on the TV to the Rachael Ray show, Dr. Travis
Stork was on the show, not a big surprise they were discussing weight loss. I missed
the first part of the program, when I tuned in Dr. Travis and Rachael were
discussing how eight
glasses of ice water a day can help with weight loss. This caught my attention;
I usually make every effort to drink about eight glasses of ice water a day, I
decided to check out Rachael Ray’s website for more details.
I didn’t have time to watch the videos from the show and I was having a difficult time locating the transcript from discussion regarding ice water and weight loss on the website, so I conducted a quick search on Google.
On the site http://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/diet-fitness/weight-loss/question447.htm, I found what I was looking for you, can click on the link and read the article with all the details. Here is what I learned, according to this website, if you drink eight glasses of ice water a day the body has to work to warm up the water, burning about 70 calories a day and over time that really adds up.
Here are the numbers according to my calculations:
1 week burn 490 calories
1 month burn 1,960 calories
1 year burn 23,520 calories
It might be a challenge for some of us to drink 64 ounces of water day, my suggestion is to give it your best try, fill up a 64 ounce pitcher or thermos with ice water and sip away some extras calories. Oh and keep moving!
Who knew that I was burning calories by sipping a refreshing glass of ice cold water!
Ice water anyone?
Cheers! Kary
