Heart Attacks And Drinking Warm Water
This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about heart attacks. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating.
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is very harmful to have cold drink/water during a meal because the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

Common Symptoms Of Heart Attack
A serious note about heart attacks - you should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting . Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.

Cold Comfort Harm
Rumor: Drinking ice water after meals or at bedtime can cause a host of nasty health issues.
FALSE
ORIGIN
Admonitions against the ingestion of cold beverages immediately following meals first surfaced on the Internet in February 2006, when they first appeared as an item tagged onto a diatribe against the eating of too much rice. By July 2006, it was circulating as the lead-in to the “cough CPR” mailing (which unwisely advocates that medically-unsupervised heart attack victims attempt to cough rhythmically to get themselves through cardiac events). In October 2006 we began receiving e-mailed versions that conclude with the following bit of text that implies a connection between the ingestion of cold water and heart attacks in women (the additional text appearing after the previously-standard “best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal” ending):

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we’ll save at least one life.

While the above-quoted bit is accurate with regard to what it says about heart attack symptoms, the implied connection between the drinking of cold water and cardiac disruption (derived from the text’s having been appended to the “cold water causes cancer” e-mail) should be dismissed. Medical literature does not offer support for there being such a link.
The proffered bit of advice about eschewing cold drinks after a meal due to cancer concerns is also claptrap: We were unable to find in reputable medical literature mention of frosty beverages causing cancer. As well, chilled liquids do not solidify ingested fats when the two meet in the stomach: the internal heat of the human body quickly nullifies any temperature differences among the various items that have been swallowed, and stomach acids very efficiently break down lumps of ingestibles before they are passed into the intestines.

As for oils reacting with stomach acids to form a resultant sludge that is subsequently absorbed more quickly by the intestine than solid food is, remember that “solid food” doesn’t generally get into the intestines. By the time most of what we ingest gets that far along in our digestive process, it’s all pretty much the same consistency.
The belief that fats (particularly animal fats) will “line the intestine” underpins a common scare story about alleged post-mortem discoveries that celebrities (such as John Wayne and Elvis Presley) who epitomized the “meat and potatoes” diet, gluttony, or other negative eating habits had some tremendous amount (40, 60, or even 80 pounds) of “impacted fecal matter” or “impacted feces” lodged in their bowels.
