Hot Tea after meals vs a cold drink?

drinking water after a meal can lead to heart attack? what??\n\nfrom what i know..myocardial infarction is caused mainly by smoking, high LDL, obesity, high blood pressure..\n\nbut never from drinking cold water..especially after a meal\n\nand it does not solidify the oily things you eat.  I don't believe cold or warm water solidifies oil because oil is hydrophobic to either warm or cold water/tea.  They wouldn't even mix..\n\neven having a beer after a meal won't do anything but intoxicate you

"A nice walk after meal will help your digestion" is a myth. Fact is: you need a lot of energy to digest your food. Exercising right after you've done eating will disturb your digestive system from doing its job. \n\nAn invigorating exercise should be done early in the morning. Or in the afternoon, whichever fits your daily schedule. And shouldn't be done at least two hours after a big meal. \n\nLight, morning (around 5 or 6 am) exercises will fuel up your brain for the rest of the day. While afternoon exercises (around 4 or 5 pm) will motor up your metabolism, so you can burn up more calories in the evening (even while you're sleeping).

It is not good for you to drink during your meal... Better drink 30 minutes before having your meal & 30 minutes after having your meal... I'm serious, ask any doctor about this, you shouldn't drink during a meal. Before is fine, after is fine, but not in between bites...\n\nI'm not quite sure why we shouldn't drink during a meal, all I know is that 1 of the reason why it's hard to have a flat tummy (eventhough you do lots of sit ups) is because you drink during your meal... Seriously, I'm not kidding...

white tea, with the caffeine. It has around 4-5 times the amount of antioxidants as green. If you drink decaffienated you also lose some of the anti-oxidants in the decaffination process.  And the stronger you have your tea, the better. Its best to boil the water in a tea kettle or at least the microwave. The hot water helps you get more out of the teabag than if you just used cold. And if you like it cold...just put some ice cubes in it or in the fridge til it cools. Green tea comes in at second.\n\nBlack tea is the most processed of teas so it has the least amount.

Basically, in hot tea, the water molecules are moving at a much faster rate than cold water molecules.  Thus the number of collisions with sugar molecules is higher, therefore there is faster dissolving time.  Don't believe me?  Try ice water, room temperature water, and hot water, and without stirring see which one dissolves a teaspoon of sugar first.

No, drinking water with meals, before meals, or after meals is not\nharmful in any way.\nLot of complementary practitioners recommend against drinking water with meals, believing it dilutes the stomach acid and, hence, interferes with proper digestion. Technically this is not true.\nBefore breakfast, drink a glass of water while still lying down: the fluid is absorbed more rapidly and stimulates drainage and purification of thebody. \nDo not forget that a glass of water before a meal helps\n"freshen up" the palate. - During meals, drink a glass of water\nbetween each course in order to prepare your palate for different\ntastes. - Between meals, never worry about drinking too much andconsume at least one large glass every two hours. - Before going to bed, drink a large glass of water to help "wash your body through".  Always take small mouthfuls which quench the thirst more efficiently than big ones.”

All three of these are different... Here are my recommendations: \n\nCold: \nAs mentioned above, folklore tells us that we should feed a cold. Experience has taught me that the best thing to feed a cold is usually chicken soup. It doesn't have to be homemade - even Campbell's will work - but homemade does seem to be best. Keep up the fluids - drink water, hot tea, ginger ale, anything to keep hydrated. Hot tea seems to work best for me. Take vitamin C, and zinc - you can get tablets at your local pharmacy, or a multivitamin will do in a pinch. Get plenty of rest, too. If your head is stuffed up or you're congested in any way, prop yourself up a little bit on a couple of pillows so that you sleep with your head higher than your chest. Doesn't have to be a lot, just a little will do the trick. And if you can, sleep on your back this way. Don't know why, but it seems to help with the drainage of all that mucus. \n\nFever: \nAgain, referencing the folklore, starve a fever. If you've got a fever, you probably don't feel like eating anyway. Fevers you have to keep a closer eye on. I've always felt like they're more dangerous than a cold. Anyway, again, stay hydrated - drink water, iced tea, ginger ale - you're probably not going to want anything hot. As a rule of thumb, if you get hungry, eat something. Try something light at first to make sure...a piece of dry toast or some crackers. Take your tempreture whenever you think of it to make sure you're not boiling over. If your tempreture gets too high, go to a doctor. \n\nFlu: \nStay warm, and stay close to a bathroom for starters! Stay hydrated - gatorade, tea, water, ginger ale is great. There's something about ginger that helps settle my stomach, so ginger ale and ginger tea (if you like either) are usually good to have around. Get as much rest as you can. Do whatever you can to stay comfortable. Peptobismal has always been a wonder drug in my family... Immodium for diareaha (sp?) is really good, too. Again, chicken soup if you can keep it down. Don't know what it is about that chicken soup, but it does seem to help.

As any sane and decent person would expect, hot water out of the tap will boil faster than cold water out of the tap. However, water that has been boiled once and allowed to cool will boil faster than hot water out of the tap. That's because boiling gets rid of the dissolved oxygen usually found in water, making it easier for the water to boil the second time around.

Diet, caffeine free, pepsi. Sure it's boring, but my beer days are over. Trying to cut down on the iced tea. By the way, do you notice how many people say ice tea and how many say iced tea?\nSeems about 50/50 to me. Might make a good question, your welcome to give it a try.

Hello..I will tell you with 100% sureness that that theory is absolutely wrong( I mean that the chilly/cold water) help you burn calories.Dear,is it again 100% proven that the opposite the intake of lukewarm to bearable hot water "boost" your metabolism and respectively help you to burn fat..By the way,there are some regimes which are based on the intake of lukewarm water,daily,separated portions through the whole day.Celebrities like Madonna and some models drink at least 4 to 6 cups of such water and that's one of their "secret" weapons against fat reciduius..I have made it and for one month,along with the moderate diet I lost 5 kilograms.Every day I start the day with a cup of hot water..it really works!! Good luck!!

This is my mother's belief, sometimes you have trapped gas in your stomach and the heat from the tea break the gas bubble.  Sometimes you eat too much after being empty for a while and the gas get trapped.  It's not scientific, but I go with it.

Hot food may be tastier compared to cold . If the food is stored carefully and not stale than no harm in having it cold also. However hot food is easier to digest.
