1, the way to drink cold drinks in summer
1, and the temperature of the beverage is preferably between 30 and 32 degrees Celsius.
The temperature of the best drink is between 30 and 32 degrees Celsius, which is close to the body temperature. Warm tea is an ideal drink. The temperature of cold drinks is generally lower than that in the stomach. Drinking too many cold drinks for a long time will shrink the blood vessels under the gastric mucosa, weaken the defense function of the stomach and affect health. Drink less cold drinks and ice water, especially before and after meals, so as not to easily affect your health.
2. It is not advisable to eat cold drinks before and after eating.
When eating, most of human blood is concentrated in digestive organs such as the stomach. If you eat cold drinks immediately after meals, the blood vessels in the stomach will contract and the blood flow will decrease, which will hinder the normal digestion process. The stimulation of cold water will also accelerate the peristalsis of gastrointestinal tract and affect the absorption of nutrients by human body. At the same time, cold water will dilute gastric juice and affect digestion.
Don't drink cold drinks for breakfast.
The human body always likes a warm environment. When the body is warm, the microcirculation will be normal, and the transportation of oxygen, nutrition and waste will be smooth. So don't drink cold drinks and food when eating breakfast. You should eat "hot food" for breakfast to protect your stomach. In fact, stomach qi in TCM theory is generalized, not simply referring to "stomach", but including the digestion and absorption ability of spleen and stomach, acquired immunity, muscle function and so on.
Because in the morning and at night, Yin Qi has not moved away, and the temperature of the earth has not risen. The muscles, nerves and blood vessels in the body are still contracting. If you eat cold food and drink cold food again at this time, the various systems of the body will contract more and the blood flow will be worse.
4. Be careful to eat cold drinks after exercise.
It is unscientific to eat a lot of cold drinks after exercise in summer. Strenuous exercise can raise body temperature. Eating a lot of cold drinks at this time is a strong cold stimulus to the digestive tract, which will cause strong peristalsis of the digestive tract and produce abdominal pain and diarrhea. At the same time, the rapid change of heat and cold will cause the blood vessels in the stomach to contract suddenly, which will cause digestive and absorption dysfunction and lead to indigestion or other diseases. Secondly, the throat may be congested after exercise, and too strong cold stimulation will cause sore throat and hoarseness. To this end, it is not advisable to eat cold drinks immediately after exercise, and it is advisable to take a break before eating.
5. Cold drinks and hot drinks should not be drunk alternately.
Some people drink hot coffee, hot milk and so on right after drinking cold drinks. This cold and hot change is likely to stimulate their teeth and cause dental diseases. Moreover, alternating cold drinks and hot drinks is not good for the gastrointestinal tract, and it is easy to cause gastrointestinal dysfunction. So cold drinks and hot drinks should be quoted separately, at least 30 minutes apart. Eating cold drinks 30 minutes before and after meals will dilute gastric juice and reduce the activity of digestive enzymes, which is not conducive to the digestion and absorption of food, thus endangering human health. Xia Zhishi, drinking a little salty boiled water before meals can not only supplement the salt and water your body needs, but also avoid eating cold food and cold drinks.
