Now, let’s talk about cold water. You just pulled it from the fridge. It’s gloriously icy. You drink it. And then—bam—that crampy, queasy feeling shows up. Why? Your stomach is a warm, cozy place.
When you dump ice water in there, it’s like a polar bear dive for your gut. Blood vessels constrict, digestion slows, and your stomach says, “Excuse me? I was napping!” The result? A little wave of nausea as everything adjusts to the sudden chill. Try room temperature water next time. Seriously, it’s a game changer.
