The temperature of the food does not matter, because your body will warm it up or cool it down for your digestive system to do its work. Asian people prefer to have a warm liquid before a meal to aid in digestion and that makes sense if you think about how that might prepare it to secrete mucus and digestive juices. Very hot or very cold liquids may shock the stomach and cause digestion to be disrupted.
