A Cold Soft Drink Is Kept On Balance - #6205

Last week, I had a strange experience that left me confused. I was at a party, and we were discussing health tips when someone told me that if a cold soft drink is kept on balance, it can somehow affect digestion or energy levels in the body. They said something about cold affecting the stomach’s heat or energy balance, which I’ve never heard before. I didn’t understand it fully, but now it’s stuck in my head. Here’s the thing: I drink cold soft drinks a lot, sometimes even three or four in a day, especially after meals. Sometimes, I feel bloated after drinking them, but I’ve always thought that’s just normal. If a cold soft drink is kept on balance, does it actually impact digestion or something like that? Does Ayurveda say anything about cold affecting the body differently, especially in the context of digestion or stomach problems? I’ve also noticed that when I drink cold drinks, I feel a little sluggish and even crave more food afterward. Is this because a cold soft drink is kept on balance with the body’s internal heat, or is it just a coincidence? A friend suggested it could throw off something called “agni” or digestive fire, which she read about in Ayurveda. Could this be why I sometimes feel uneasy after drinking them? My other question is, should I completely avoid drinking them cold? If a cold soft drink is kept on balance, does warming it up or letting it reach room temperature help prevent any negative effects? I’ve never thought about this before, but now I’m genuinely curious if this is a real issue. Can you explain what happens to the body when a cold soft drink is kept on balance in terms of Ayurvedic concepts like vata, pitta, and kapha? Are there specific symptoms or long-term effects to watch for? Is there an ideal way or time to have soft drinks according to Ayurveda, or is it better to avoid them entirely?
