Why Does Cold Water Taste Better?

Why Does Cold Water Taste Better?
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Is there anything more refreshing than a full glass of ice water on a sweltering summer day? Hot or even room-temperature water doesn’t come close. So why does cold water taste better than other temps? Refresh your glass and read on.

Why Does Cold Water Taste Better?

Cold water tastes better because our taste buds perceive it differently. You’re not imagining it—cold water really does taste different than warm water.

Our brains perceive cold drinks as less flavorful than hot ones. That’s because the cold temperature suppresses our tastebuds, and we simply do not taste as much. If your water has any impurities, you likely won’t taste them as much when the water is cold. This makes the water seem like it tastes better when it’s cold!

This change in perception is why many foods taste better hot, or taste better with a straw. When food is warm or hot, our brains perceive more flavor from it. When it’s cold, we can’t taste as much.

And the scientific research backs this up. A 2015 study found that drinking cooler liquids reduces our ability to taste sweetness. That’s why warm water sometimes tastes sweet. Our brains can’t pick up on the flavor when it’s cold.

A 2021 study found that temperature affects how much we enjoy what we eat and drink. In general, people find cold water more refreshing than other temperatures.

And there may be health benefits to drinking cold water, too. A 2012 study found that drinking cold water during exercise can prevent the body from overheating. It can also make workout sessions more effective by keeping the core body temperature lower.

Water is not the only liquid that changes its taste. Even wonder why canned and bottled sodas taste different?

Is Cold Water Good for You?

You may have read that drinking warm or hot water is better for the body than cold water. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that hot water is more beneficial for our health. There is little evidence in Western medicine to support drinking hot or warm water over cold.

A small study from 1978 found that drinking cold water might thicken nasal mucous and make a cold worse. It found that drinking hot water or chicken soup thins mucous and provides relief when you’re sick. This could be why you crave chicken noodle soup when you’re under the weather.

Another small study from 2001 found that drinking cold water could trigger migraines in people who are susceptible to them. If you notice that you’re experiencing any health problems after drinking cold water, talk with your healthcare provider.

Drink Up

Bottom line? Water is essential for a healthy body, so enjoy it at whatever temperature you prefer. And here’s what will happen when you drink water all day!
