If you drink it cold the body takes longer to absorb it because it needs to be heated and it sits there longer. Try drinking water that is room temperature and it will be absorbed faster.

Yes, but I would think eating more fat would be a better method of slowing down digestion. It seems to me like you aren't just slowing it down, you are hindering the process. Food may not be digested as properly as it should be. This is just speculation on my part though. Wait for someone who really knows their shit to confirm or deny before you listen to the preceeding statement.

And thoughts?
