It is best if the water you drink is about room temperature or warmer. Your digestive system, was not made to handle extreme hot or cold temperatures. For most of us, it is our teeth that first warn us that an item we are starting to eat or drink is either too cold or too hot to be sent down into us. If you persist and take those items, some enzymes of your body are then forced to come into action, either to increase the Temperature of cold foods or decrease that of items that are too hot. This is why the substance that you have swallowed cannot maintain its original temperature for long.

Let us imagine what happens when you take cold water or cold foods (such as ice cream, very cold juices. etc.). These shrink the blood vessels that they contact along the way, from your mouth right down into your stomach. Therefore, the capacity of these vessels to carry blood is suddenly reduced for a relatively short period. The sudden contraction of these vessels signals the heart to work harder.

Incidentally, any person familiar with pumping machines is aware of this reaction. Whenever there is any obstruction or tightening of the pipe along the route, the engine is forced to work harder.

In relation to foods and drinks, the 'shock' from taking cold items causes adverse bodily reactions that include the following:
1. Delays in various chemical reactions within your internal organs. Even if briefly, the digestive process is forced to slow down or to delay its work, until the temperature of the consumed item and the environment is right.
2. The signal for the heart to work harder could be so powerful as to cause this organ to stop working and be immediate cause of death. This often happens for persons who already suffer from some lifestyle diseases such as damaged blood vessels (arteriosclerosis), hypertension and diabetes.
