Have you ever thought what COLD does to digestion?
Many animals lower they body temperature to overcome the winter like bear, hedgehog or fish.
We humans are warm-blooded, meaning we maintain a constant 37 celsius internal body temperature.
Cold food and beverages burden the digestion, since the body has to use extra energy to balance the core temperature before digestion even begins.
That’s why choosing food and drinks that are at room temperature or warm helps our digestion work best, especially during the winter months in a cold environment.
