Life is cold. It is best not to eat cold drinks in summer.

It is very hot in summer. Some people like to eat an ice cream and drink a cold drink after exercise. This is undoubtedly a very comfortable thing, but it is also easy to cause health problems.

The main ingredient of cold drinks is water, in addition to some sugar and milk. These things are low in nutrients and cannot provide nutrition for the body. If too many cold drinks enter the digestive tract, it will seriously affect the secretion of digestive juice and the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract.

Because when people exercise, most of the blood in the body is concentrated on the body surface, and the digestive system is in a state of temporary anemia. If they eat too much cold food, the anemic stomach will be more easily stimulated and the blood vessels will be severely constricted. Anemia will not only cause gastrointestinal diseases, but also be more serious.

Eating cold drinks such as ice cream will bring temporary comfort to the body, but the temperature of this kind of food is 20 to 30 degrees lower than that in the human stomach, and a lot of ice cream or gas cold drinks are eaten.

It is easy to cause gastrointestinal irritation, leading to vasoconstriction, gastric mucosal ischemia, rapid weakening of gastrointestinal digestion and sterilization, and easy to cause spasmodic pain, diarrhea, abdominal pain and other symptoms.

What female friends should pay special attention to is that whenever cold drinks enter the human stomach, women's endometrial blood vessels will contract strongly, which will lead to a sharp drop in menstrual flow and even symptoms such as amenorrhea and dysmenorrhea, so female friends must not drink too much during the physiological period.

Chinese medicine believes that in summer, the yang in the body runs out of the body, and the yang in the body is relatively reduced, especially the spleen yang is weaker than usual, which is also the reason why there are more patients in the digestive tract in summer.

Eating too many cold drinks will damage spleen yang. If the human body itself is deficient in spleen yang, then eating cold drinks will lead to diarrhea, salivation and other symptoms of spleen yang deficiency.

"Huangdi Neijing" "Lie at night and get up early, never tire of it for a hundred days, so that you will not be angry, make Huaying put on a show, vent your anger, and if you love the outside." This is the famous "Three Ambassadors" in Huangdi Neijing about the life rules that people should follow in summer.

For ordinary people, eating cold in summer can be said to be "killing without raising yang" and "collecting yin without raising yang", deliberately violating their true demands of body and mind. "The body surface is summer and the spleen and stomach are autumn."

Sleeping in summer night is greedy and cold, and you can show your whole body, only your stomach should be covered, because your stomach is the most vulnerable to cold-they are "hot". Experienced people take care of children, even if it is very hot at night, they will put on Chinese corsets for children, or quietly cover their stomachs when children fall asleep.

If we want to eat, first of all, we need to pay attention to the time of eating cold drinks and food:

1. Don't eat before or half an hour after meals.

2. Don't eat when sweating.

Don't eat supper at night.

Besides, don't eat too much at a time. Now the freezing technology is developed and household refrigerators are popular. You can make your own cold drinks with the freezer tray that comes with the refrigerator, which is not only small but also hygienic.

In short, it is best to eat less cold drinks in summer, including cold beer and watermelon.
