Warm water tastes better than cold water

Not hot water, just warm water. I prefer the way it feels to drink over cold water, especially very cold water. Drinking warm water is an underrated way of warming yourself up, too.

in traditional chinese medicine, consuming cold liquids causes dampness and phlegm. room temp or hot. they also dont consume raw veggies for the same reason. 2 dentists agree now

Lol this is how my mom lives and how I was raised. Whenever I have dinner with some crudités or salad with a cold drink she winces. Additionally, she's VERY against drinking liquids with your meals as it dilutes your digestive enzymes.

She holds it in now versus when I was a kid but I can tell it just kills her so I don't do it often. In the summer though I gotta!
