Many people are used to drinking cold drinks with food. Especially if the weather is hot outside.

But you shouldn't do this if you don't want to get additional problems.

Nutritionist Natalia Lazurenko spoke about this in more detail in an interview with Vechernyaya Moskva .

As the specialist noted, such a habit disrupts the natural temperature inside the gastrointestinal tract, and food will take longer to digest.

The doctor added that if you have stomach problems, you definitely shouldn’t drink anything with your lunch or dinner.
