The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals..not cold water. Like what most of us like to do. Here’s an article that I read about the effect of drinking cold water with meals.
The cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this “sludge” reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed
by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer.
It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
My practice, I will only drink half an hour after meal.
