Easier to Digest

Several studies have looked at the process of breaking down food in digestion. Research shows food breaks down faster. That means, the human digestive system is sensitive to different temperatures.

The human digestive system works better with warmer foods and liquids, because digestion doesn’t have to work as hard to digest food.

In contrast, cold foods show a shock to the digestive system and make the intestines work longer to break down the nutrients in food. This can cause bloating or digestive sensitivity.

Meanwhile, the nutrients in hot foods have been partially broken down during the steaming, cooking, baking, or grilling process. Plus, people who eat hot food are usually slower, and that’s good for the digestive system because there’s more time to absorb the nutrients.

More Nutritional Content

Well, because hot food makes the digestive system work more smoothly, the nutrients from hot food are more easily absorbed by the body. In fact, some foods release more nutrients when cooked, such as tomatoes, which release antioxidants lycopene higher.

Quoted from Healthline, lycopene is an antioxidant that can help reduce the risk of cancer, heart attack, strengthen bones and brain, and reduce pain.
