Eli5: Does drinking hot water replenish more energy because hot things have more energy in them?
In: Biology
No, we gain energy through our metabolism. We do not have the ability to convert heat energy into usable energy for ourselves.
You could make an argument that warmer water will require less energy to absorb since your body doesn’t have to warm it up, but that’s not significant.
Drinking water replenishes no energy, but it’s required for that systems in your body that do replenish energy to work.
