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.
The difference is subtle but crucial, because if you drink a big glass of ice water, youâll have cold liquid sitting in your stomach â right above where youâve shoved your rectal thermometer. As a result, the thermometer may register a lower temperature even though the rest of your body hasnât really been cooled. Sure enough, unlike previous studies, the new study found that drinking hot water triggered a sweat response that more than compensated for the heat of the drink. Cold drinks produced the opposite response, with a reduction in sweat cancelling out the cooling power of the drink.
