Is it healthier to drink warm liquids during a meal?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
What is health?: I don't suppose that people who drink warm liquids live any longer or better than those who do not. If it makes you feel healthy then by all means do it.

Easier for digestion: Warm or room temperature fluid/food is easier for your stomache to digest/handle, at least for a short period after consumption. Once the food/fluid is in your stomache for awhile, your body heat will warm it up. As u probably experienced many times, when u don't feel well/have stomache upset, warm tea/soup can be comforting. Eat well, live well, and anjoy life to the fullest! good luck.
