What is what happens when you swallow ice?

When you swallow ice, it enters your esophagus and stomach. The body's temperature is about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, while the ice is at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, so the body must work to warm up the ice. This process requires energy, which is why some people may feel hungrier after consuming cold drinks or ice. There is also a potential risk of choking on larger ice cubes, so it's important to chew ice before swallowing or opt for crushed or shaved ice if possible. Consuming too much ice may also lead to tooth enamel erosion, sensitivity, and damage.
