Question Is it true?
Is it true that you should drink a hot beverage after your meals to break down your food????

Never heard that one. Or are you talking about green tea?

Yeah, I haven't heard of this either. I have only heard about drinking ice cold water to burn calories "faster." I am not sure how the temperature of a beverage could aid in digestion.

I read it once in a diet book...
What they say is that when you drink something hot/warm with or after food it helps to digest it the fat.
If you drink something cold the liquid make the fat hard -try put a cold water in some fat- and make the digestion take more time to occur, while if you drink something warm it helps keeping the fat melted.
According to this book ( I don’t remember which one - sorry) that is why asian people drink hot tea with meals.
Now, if you ask me if it is true, that I don’t know...

These little 'short cut' tricks aren't going to help in the long run anyways

Melted fat and solid fat still have the same amount of calories for digestion - you're just talking lard vs. oil.

They say the cold water trick works because your body has to work hard to "warm itself up" after you drink ice water, but its a myth.

I'm part Chinese and we drink tea just because... and it is astringent and a palette cleanser of sorts between courses when it is one of those fancy dinners.

Water and tea in reasonable amounts aren't going to hurt anything, but neither do they have super powers. I'm with the myth camp.
