The
use
of
a
large
amount
of
cold
water
at
meal-time
is
likely
to
be
detrimental.
There
is
a
wide-spread
custom
of
drinking
ice-water
during
the
meal.
This
is
one
of
the
most
pernicious
of
all
dietetic
errors,
since
chilling
of
the
stomach
invariably
retards
digestion
and
favors
dyspepsia.
Even
water
that
is
very
cold,
though
not
iced,
is
not
desirable,
unless
used
in
very
small
amounts.
Also
the
use
of
ice-
water
or
extremely
cold
water
between
meals
is
inadvisable,
since
because
of
its
low
temperature
one
cannot
comfortably
drink
enough
of
it
to
satisfy
completely
his
bodily
requirements.
Water
that
is
only
moderately
cold
or
cool
can
be
used
liberally,
and
is
always
to
be
preferred
in
the
case
of
overheating
through
violent
exercise.
It
is
usually
advisable
to
drink
water
at
the
temperature
that
is
most
pleasant
to
you,
though
large
quantities
of
cold
water
should
always
be
avoided.
And,
as
I
have
said,
at
meal-time,
especially,
if
much
water
or
other
liquids
are
used
they
should
be
either
warm
or
hot.
Without
question,
the
greatest
of
all
dietetic
errors
is
to
eat
without
appetite.
It
is
nothing
less
than
a
crime
against
the
stomach,
and
yet
this
practice
is
one
of
the
most
common
of
all
those
which
contribute
to
the
prevalence
of
dyspepsia
in
civilized
communities.
No
animal,
the
human
race
excepted,
would
attempt
to
eat
without
the
relish
that
absolutely
depends
upon
the
possession
of
a
keen
appetite.
Many
thousands
of
people
attempt
to
eat
their
meals
regularly
without
regard
to
the
demands
of
hunger
merely
because
it
is
"meal-time."
Eating
in
such
cases
has
only
the
excuse
of
habit,
although
frequently
it
is
regarded
as
a
duty.
Eating
should
never
be
regarded
as
a
duty,
nor
should
it
be
allowed
to
become
a
habit,
for
when
not
pleasurable
it
is
not
beneficial.
