Why do westerners like to drink cold water with ice all year round, while orientals like to drink hot water?

Maybe everyone knows that westerners like ice water, while orientals like hot water.

It is generally found that only people in China like to drink hot water, while foreigners drink cold water all the year round. So is it better to drink cold water or hot water?

"Drinking cold water will cause diarrhea" is a sentence that many parents will teach their children now, so most of the time we will come into contact with boiled water. People in China often think that there is only boiling water without impurities and toxic substances, so they can drink it with confidence.

but this is not the case in foreign countries. First of all, westerners think there is nothing in boiling water. It is impolite to entertain others. The idea of adding ice to water or even "using ice for VIP medicine reception" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of westerners, so westerners often drink ice water even in winter.

Secondly, foreign tap water can be directly drunk. Because the water source control there is much better than in China, there is no need to boil before drinking. In fact, the taste of pure cold water is not very good, so many people like to add ice cubes and then drink it, and they will feel that the water tastes good. After a long time, we got into the habit of drinking like this.

In China, we all know that environmental pollution is getting worse. As a result, most of China's water sources are not polluted. The seemingly clear tap water actually contains too many harmful substances, such as heavy metals, bacteria and many compounds, which enter the water source through various pollutions.

However, the production technology of tap water in China is not strict, which will cause more pollutants and bacteria in tap water in China. If we drink it like this, it will have a great influence on our health. Therefore, people in China often use boiled water to help tap water become cleaner. It is not easy for children to have diarrhea, and it is not easy for adults to get sick.

There is also a traditional concept in China, that is, drinking hot water will not cause great stimulation to the stomach, and it can protect our stomach environment well. Drinking ice water will stimulate the stomach and diarrhea. Long-term drinking may also lead to cold and weakness. Therefore, China people have a unique view on ice water.

But in fact, no matter China people or foreigners, they can't insist on drinking only ice water or hot water. According to everyone's physique, some people will not have any abnormalities after drinking ice water, and even improve their physique, so there is no need to rule out ice water.

Similarly, if your body is fragile and prone to diarrhea when drinking cold water, drink as much hot water as possible to at least protect your body. When drinking ice water, you should also be careful not to drink it directly with ice like foreigners.

that's why we like drinking hot water.
