@lanshinskin: For those with underlying heart conditions, the combination of a hot, overheated body and drinking ice cold water (or beverages) can be dangerous. And for others without obvious health challenges, ice cold water can still produce a significant amount of discomfort when consumed during/after workout before the body naturally cools down. During hot summer months, this could even cause heatstroke (TCM concept). For most of us, drinking ice water during/after workouts (or post sauna, hot weather exposure) won’t send us to the ER. But what this man’s story tells us is the impact of ice water can be stressful for the body in this circumstance. And whether you experience discomfort depends on the underlying state of your health. To prevent this from happening, he could: 1. Ditch the ice and leave the water room temp 2. If he chose to drink cool (not iced) water, he should wait until his body has naturally cooled down. This is one reason why post workout cool-downs are so important. 3. Never chug large amounts of cold water at once when your body is overheated. Again, room temp is best. 4. Be sure to hydrate well BEFORE working out TCM gives us an additional layer of explanation on how the Heart ❤️ goes into heat overdrive in this hot body/ice water scenario.
