INTERESTING TIDBIT FOR YOU - do not drink cold liquids with your meals... I read this today... apparently food digests better at room temperatures and drinking cold liquids with your meals slows down digestion and can potentially increase the amount of foods that will be converted to fat....WOW... I guess that really rules out icecream for me....LOL.
So, drinking any cold beverage during, right before, or right after eating will also hinder digestion. For people who feel they have to drink during or right after meals, I recommend sipping small amounts of filtered water or warm tea. Generally, when people are very thirsty during or after meals it is because their body is dehydrated or because they are eating foods with too much refined salt.
