So, is drinking cold water after waking up bad? The answer is a warm (or cool) no. For the vast majority of us, it’s a great, hydrating, and even invigorating habit.
If you love it, fill that glass with ice and clink it against your teeth. If you hate it, pour yourself some warm water and feel cozy. There’s no one-size-fits-all here.
Here is your permission slip: drink the water you like, when you like it. Just drink it. Because the real enemy isn’t the temperature—it’s waking up and not hydrating at all. So bottoms up, just how you like it.
