Why should our food be at room temperature and not hot or cold?

Let’s understand why we do not recommend having very hot or very cold drinks -

Our body works very hard to maintain a suitable internal temperature. If we have foods that are very hot or cold, they would not only disturb this internal temperature but also cause agitation. Very hot or cold foods and drinks are Rajasik in nature and would act as stimulators to the body. 

Therefore, it is best to have foods and drinks at room temperature in order to maintain the natural state of the body.
