Drinking water as an alternative to sugary beverages such as fruit juices and coke is good for maintaining a healthy weight. But some people also believe that drinking ice-cold water is a good way to weight loss. All organs of our body get the energy to function from the food (fat, carbohydrates and proteins) digested. When the food is metabolized, certain organs of the body such as liver, brain and heart also generate heat. Prove if there is any truth to the idea of losing weight by drinking ice-cold water by considering all the above-given facts and the energy loss by
 
(a) melting 2 L of ice in your mouth and drinking it
 
(b) drinking 2 L of water stored in the fridge.
