Yes, up to a certain point. When exposed to abnormally cold temperatures, blood with withdrawn from the appendages (hands, feet, nose, ears, cheeks) and pools around the vital organs to conserve heat. As part of this, the blood serving the stomach is reduced, thereby reducing digestion. At regular room temperatures and above, this is not applicable.
