cold fluids are said to reduce digestive fire. Something you need in a fast to burn toxins. Depends on how strong yours is normally, but I find room temperature better all around, once I made the adaptation. It should be noted that I had drunk cold drinks for decades – have never been much of a hot drink person.

I leave my tea out of the fridge over night. Water as well. But only because I found out cold liquids are unsettling to the stomach on this fast.

This information is probably out there somewhere, but I am not sure if this is the reason why others recommend we avoid cold liquids during a fast.

I am just planning the things I will cook. You know, I have had so many good ideas on spice combination since I have been on this fast. I can’t wait to try them out!

Day 13 is over…

I used to drink a lot of cold water which also turned out to be not so good. Many recommend warm which I don’t like much, so I keep a jug of war out and drink it at room temperature. That’s worked for me. I always have a glass of water going by my desk.
