Summer is here, and it’s time to enjoy eating cold drinks, ice cream season. Is your refrigerator has long been stocked with a variety of ice-cream, every day in the afternoon, is not a cup of ice drinks to quench your thirst? However, today to introduce to you, tell the people around you: anything can be eaten, just not allowed to eat cold drinks! Cold words can not listen to cold, cold food and cold drinks can not eat! In fact, there is a limerick circulating in Chinese medicine: cold words can not listen to cold words, cold food and cold food can not eat. Drink warm water, eat hot food, no diarrhea is not victimized. If you want to drink hot soup all year round, the doctor will change his profession. The above proverb is a bit exaggerated, but it can express the simplest meaning clearly. Chinese medicine: “the stomach likes warmth but not cold”, “the kidneys also like warmth but not cold”, cold food is harmful to the stomach. The body’s qi and blood, grains and nutrients, all rely on the spleen and stomach to absorb and transport; rely on the kidneys to eliminate the body’s metabolic toxins, so it is very important to protect the spleen and stomach and kidneys. Western medicine: this is because the epidermis of the stomach has a layer of mucous membrane, which can secrete mucus to protect the stomach itself from being digested by the digestive juices. The temperature of cold drinks is generally 20~30℃ lower than the temperature inside the stomach, long-term excessive cold food into the stomach, will make the gastric submucosa vasoconstriction, mucosal layer thinning, so that the “natural barrier” to protect the stomach – mucus layer is damaged, resulting in a decrease in the stomach’s defense ability. The increase in the invasive power of gastric acid and pepsin, mucosal edema and erosion, and ultimately chronic gastritis. Men and women, young and old, should eat less cold drinks! 1, the elderly: eat less cold, to avoid inducing hidden diseases Chinese medicine, people in old age, take medicine medicine is not effective, nutrition can not be, the situation is mostly in the spleen and stomach is not good. The elderly food should be slow, light, warm, do not eat cold food, cold food, but also eat less cold drinks. If you drink a lot of cold drinks, will cause the elderly suddenly constricted blood vessels, blood pressure, for hypertensive patients, easily induced cerebral hemorrhage. 2, men: booze cold beer, induced heart attack life Cold drinks, the general public will think of dessert, so men eating cold drinks seems to have no special taboos, but booze beer this common behavior is easy to ignore. 3, women: dysmenorrhea, menstrual disorders find women not only to touch less cold drinks throughout the year, cold showers should be less, or dysmenorrhea, menstrual disorders will come to the door, these are common sense. 4, children: excessive eating cold drinks, will affect the development of cold drinks will stimulate the child’s gastrointestinal, resulting in a decline in appetite, eating less. For a long time this will inevitably lead to a lack of various nutrients and absorption disorders in the affected children. Children are prone to iron deficiency anemia, malnutrition anemia and various micronutrient deficiencies. Not only does it cause physical pain to the child, but it also seriously affects the growth and development of the child. Cold drinks can not clear the heart fire, but also lead to headaches! 1, eat cold drinks can not clear the heart fire Cold drinks are delicious because people feel able to “instantly lower the fire”, but in fact, gluttonous cold food and cold drinks not only can not clear the heart fire, but will damage the spleen and stomach, too greedy cool figure pain, will only damage the body Yang Qi. For people with Yin deficiency fire physique, if the external wind-heat, fever chills and other symptoms, should promptly go to the hospital, under the guidance of a doctor, take some drugs with the effect of clearing heat and fire, cooling blood and reducing heat, to avoid physical and mental lesions. 2, cold drinks can lead to headaches eat ice cream and other cold drinks must be moderate, and eat slowly in small bites, eat more, eat anxiously will lead to headaches. This is mainly because eating a lot of cold drinks, the upper jaw in the mouth will quickly become cold, because the temperature drops too quickly, the rear of the nerve center of the nerve group will send the wrong signal to the brain, resulting in rapid vasoconstriction of the brain. After a short time, the temperature of the palate returns to normal and the nerve cluster sends normal signals to the brain again, causing the blood vessels in the brain to expand rapidly, and although this process will only last for a few seconds, the contraction and expansion of the blood vessels will lead to headaches.
