^^ Warm vs Cold ^^

This is a very good article.
Not only about the warm water after
your meal, but about ladies and their heart attacks.

This makes sense....the Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with
their meals...not cold water...
maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!!

Nothing to lose, everything to gain...
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is
applicable to you. It is nice to have a cold drink after a meal.
However, 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.

A serious note about heart attacks:
Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going
to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a
heart attack.

Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.
60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.
Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful
and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive..
.

My thoughts: Hope this sharing somehow will remind you, your "habit" of drinking cold water after or during meals. Personally, I do not practise it. And another word of concern, I don't think it's meant to emphasize for "Women" only, but also to "Men". Love your body & your health especially the season of festive just around the corner.
