First, sip, don’t chug. I know it’s hard when you’re parched, but try taking small swallows and pausing. Your belly will thank you.
Second, avoid drinking ice water through a straw like it’s a race. Straws inject more air into your digestive tract than open cups. Seriously, watch yourself next time.
Third, don’t drink cold water with a heavy, fatty meal. Cold temps can harden fats in your gut, slowing things down and making you feel like a stuffed turkey.
