One of the main benefits of drinking cold water is that it burns calories. When you drink cold water, your warm body cools off and needs to burn more calories to heat back up again. Therefore, drinking cold water helps burn more calories than drinking room temperature or warm water.

Yes, you will burn calories when doing any sort of physical activity.

Why do you turn red when exercising?
You get hot when you exercise because you are using calories. A calorie is a unit of energy. Not a unit of fat. But some foods have more calories( more energy) and the body doesn't use all of them so they get stored as fat. Almost every time you move you burn a calorie. By bending over and touching your toes you use one calorie, or one unit of energy. Burning calories that slowly is gradual so you hardly feel the effects of it. But when you exercise the calories, or energy units, are used at a fast rate. Then you burn fat and use up water, so you get hot. Hence sweating; your body is cooling down. When you finish exercising your stomach will feel cold( not immediately after) meaning you burned fat and from the quick use of calories. In literal terms, a calorie is the amount of energy it takes to raise one cubic centimeter of water 1 degree, therefore you get hot while burning calories.
How heat is transferred between a hot and a cold object by conduction?
because when something hot touches something cold the heat touches the surface of the cold thing making it burn and spread the heat around making it warm.

Does drinking ice cold water burn calories?
Does drinking freezing cold water burns Calories?Yes, drinking cold water will burn a small number of Calories. Yes , but how many?If you drink water at body temperature, you will neither gain nor lose calories. However, if you drink cold water, your body will burn calories warming up the water. First it is important to note the difference between a calorie and a Calorie. By definition a calorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at one atmosphere pressure. What we commonly call a Calorie (with a big C) is actually a kilocalorie, or 1000 little calories.Since body temperature is 37.5 degrees Celsius and there are apx 997 grams of water in a liter, we burn about 37,000 calories (37 Calories) for every liter of almost freezing ice water we drink.If we drink the recommended 8 cups/2 liters of water per day, 74 calories isn't much compared to a 2000 Calorie a day diet, but over a year that's around 27,000 Calories burned just by drinking your water ice cold instead of warm!

Does cold food have less calories?
It shouldn't. Heat plays no part in the amount of calories or nutrients food has unless it causes a chemical reaction, so unless your cold food is cooked wrong, it shouldn't. Even if a chemical reaction did take place, the heat should only cause the food to lose calories if it has any effect on that number.
Why does your skin burn when it is under hot water after being in the cold?
