INTERESTING TIDBIT FOR YOU - do not drink cold liquids with your meals... I read this today... apparently food digests better at room temperatures and drinking cold liquids with your meals slows down digestion and can potentially increase the amount of foods that will be converted to fat....WOW...

Drinking cold water after a meal creates excess mucus in your body, which can lead to a decrease in the immune system function, making it easier to catch cold and other illnesses. If you eat food while drinking cold beverages or immediately after, the water temperature solidifies fats from the foods youâve just eaten, and the body in turn finds it hard to digest the unwanted fats from your body.
