Water!
Hey! Ok so we've got this water cooler thing at school where we can fill up our bottles, one with room tempertaure water and one with cold water. Which do u think is best?? I don't mind which, its just I heard from some people that cold water slows down ur metaboolism, then i heard from other people that it speeds it up 
. Any ideas??!

Lol it was a brnad new thing this year, an I no wot u mean, if we wanted water before we had 2 either do without or pay god no's how much 4 a bottle! grr

no, at lower temperatures your body needs to release more energy for osmoregulation.
An interesting fact i heard though is that cold water will pass through you more quickly as the body half rejects it (which is why a nice cold pint makes you need the toilet so much) whereas room temperature water is better a rehydrating you.
And they say that drinking water helps your memory so i'd go with the room temp one.

Room temp water is better for hydration if you're thirsty, but I'd much rather have cold water. I don't suppose it makes enough difference to be bothered about which you drink though 
Yeah it was the metabolism thingy i was wondering about because I heard that it slows it down on TV, but then scientists say it speeds up ur metabolism, o who cares, ill jus drink the cold stuff!!
lol I've heard something about it, I thought it slowed it down but I wouldn't like to bet on that 
Well, whatever it does, it won't be much of a difference, I've never heard anything about it speading up your metabolism - does that mean eating hot foods slow it down?
Load of rubbish if you ask me, osmoregulation is pretty much negligable when it comes to foods, if you were swimming in a cup of cold water then yes you'd burn calories, but you're not, you're drinking it.

hehe swimming in cold water is kool... well not swimming, but the plunge pool / steam room idea is fab
but more on-topic, metabolism stuff is almost as bad as being obsessed with calorie counting

You would most likely have a much lower metabolism if you were swimming in very cold water. It is akin to falling into the sea, your body will slow down its metabolic processes to save energy. It does this by lowering the heart rate so that less oxygen is available to fuel metabolic reactions.
Although then again your body needs to produce more heat, so I could be wrong.
