Doctors said that drinking cold water can worsen symptoms in people with leaching disease, a condition caused by nerve damage in the food (esophagus) tube, which impedes digestion in the stomach, according to Sky News.

Drinking hot water can help calm and relax the esophagus, which in turn makes it easier to swallow food better, and thus digest it more efficiently in the stomach.

For those who suffer from persistent headaches, especially acute migraines, doctors say that drinking cold water can exacerbate the symptoms of headaches in some people who suffer from what is known as "active migraines", compared to non-sufferers.

In return, doctors advise those who exercise or exercise to improve fitness, such as running, carrying weight, or playing soccer, to drink ice water.
