Toothpaste is not only a great cure for burns, but also can remove acne and stop itching to cure foot odor; cool drinking can warm the body; hot bitter melon water is a good anti-cancer …… these “rumors” are true? In fact, these are all rumors! Rumors always fill our lives. For this reason, we need to break the rumors and see the truth. The more you drink, the faster you drink, the higher the degree of alcohol, the more you can “feel the body warm”, because the higher the concentration of alcohol in the blood, the faster the blood gas runs, the more and faster heat dissipation. However, this belongs to “quench your thirst”. The “warmth” after drinking is a temporary phenomenon, and the “cold after drinking” follows. Because the core body temperature is lost, the expansion of capillaries can not contract in time to stop the heat continues to dissipate, even if you do not stop drinking, body temperature will continue to drop, the body cold feeling aggravated, and even make people cold to shiver, goose bumps all over the body! In addition to the above-mentioned “cold after drinking” freezing people to death, in clinical practice, we often encounter hypertensive patients who mistakenly believe that “a small amount of alcohol is beneficial”. They found that drinking alcohol, blood pressure is normal, but unexpectedly not long after the “blood pressure burst”, because alcohol dilates blood vessels, making the blood flow to the wall pressure drop is temporary, after the vasoconstriction more deadly! Look at the cool autumn, after which will be winter; New Year’s Day, Spring Festival and other large and small gatherings will come, that is, the opportunity to drink more and more. Even people who are not good at drinking, not good at drinking, will be persuaded to drink: “Come two, drink to warm the body to drive away the cold!” Wait a minute! Don’t take it seriously, “drinking can warm the body” is actually just an illusion, by the body’s feelings lulled. False impression: drink down the body warming film and television dramas, the cold weather, wine in the crowd passing, one sip, the camera shows their bodies warmed up, refreshing and relaxed. In fact, in the winter in the north of China, people do like to drink wine to protect the cold, once the wine is down, the sense of heat rises, the whole body feels lighter. Many people say that the more you drink, the more lively the atmosphere, the hotter people are, drinking and even need to take off their thick clothes and then drink. Therefore, there is a popular saying – wine has a lot of heat, so it is not a problem to warm the body and drive away the cold. The truth: heat is emitted from the inside to the surface of the body Is it true that drinking can warm the body? This is just a deception from the body’s senses. In reality, there are more cases of the opposite: in high latitude regions and countries, people often freeze to death after drinking, and it is easy to get a cold or aggravate a cold after drinking, especially after drinking too much. First of all, the body feels hot after drinking, not because of the heat of the wine itself, the main component of wine is alcohol (ethanol) and water, alcohol heat is very limited, not to mention the water. Secondly, drinking makes people feel hot, in fact, the heat is the wine from the internal “arch to” the body surface, the body surface feels warm while the body is getting cold, in fact, the total amount of heat energy remains the same, but a deception of the body feeling. It turns out that the alcohol component, ethanol, has a vasodilating effect, so once the wine is down, blood vessels expand → blood circulation and whistling speed up → body (internal organs, muscles, etc.) heat more quickly from the blood flow to the body surface (skin) → feel the body in heat, which is the truth behind the illusion. Finally, it should be noted that alcohol and its metabolites, our central nervous system has a certain anesthetic effect, which also makes the skin less sensitive to the cold outside, also feel less cold after drinking. Tips: wine to drink this Although “drinking can warm up” is false, however, wine is not all bad things, the key to drink correctly. China’s wine culture has thousands of years of history, medicinal use has been accompanied by the side. Chinese medicine said “wine for the length of a hundred drugs”, so the traditional Chinese character for “medical” “medical”, the lower part of the radical is exactly “You “You is also the word for wine.
