I've heard that cold water is not as good for hydration as room temp.
The theory is that the cold causes the blood vessels surrounding stomach to shrink, slowing absorption.
also the cold water will solidify the oily stuffs that we consumed and will slow down digestion which can create “sludge” and once this sludge reacts with acid, it will then break down and the intestine will absorb it faster than the solid food.
also, if you have cold water n a plastic bottle, you risk releasing dioxins...
Beverages are usually incompatible with the food eaten as well. Fruit juices, for example, are often drunk with starchy foods (such as orange juice and toast). The acid in the fruit juices suspend the digestion of the starches and indigestion is guaranteed. Milk, another popular meal beverage, requires its own complex digestive environment since it is more properly a food than a drink. When drunk with sandwiches, breakfast or whatever, fermentation of the milk occurs in the stomach.
