Introduction: When it comes to the best way to cool down in the hot summer, nothing is better than those iced drinks that are cool and beautiful. However, some people say that you can’t drink iced drinks during the dog days of summer. So can we drink cold drinks during the dog days of summer? What are the taboos to pay attention to when eating ice during the dog days of summer? Let’s follow the editor to find out. Mr. Shui Mo has carefully compiled a special topic about the sixth month of the lunar calendar. Friends who want to know more about the sixth month of the lunar calendar can read the relevant articles in this topic for reference!Can I drink cold drinks during the dog days of summer?Health experts point out that it is indeed not advisable to eat ice during the dog days of summer. If you really want to eat it, you can eat a small amount, but not too much. Why is this? It turns out that winter is yin and summer is yang, and the dog days of summer are when the yang energy in nature and the human body is at its peak. When the body's Yang energy is at its strongest, simply using cold foods to resist it will inevitably deplete the body's Yang energy and damage the body's spleen and stomach functions. Therefore, it is not suitable to eat ice during the dog days of summer.However, from a health perspective, although not eating cold food in summer is good for the body, it is also okay to eat a small amount of cold things. It’s just that drinking cold drinks depends on each person’s physique. Some people are suitable for it, while others are not. Frail elderly people, children and people with underlying diseases should eat it with caution. In addition, Chinese medicine believes that drinking cold drinks frequently will cause the body to be in a state of cold and dampness, and the stomach and intestines will feel uncomfortable. Patients with underlying diseases may experience aggravated asthma, bronchitis, stomach pain and other symptoms due to drinking cold drinks. As for the popular saying: "During the 40 days of the dog days, do not drink iced beverages, otherwise the cold air will invade and cannot be expelled. If you want to expel the cold air in your body, you must insist on drinking hot water during the dog days, which will force out the cold air that has penetrated deep into your bone marrow for many years." Professional doctors say that this is too absolute. The saying that simply avoiding cold during the dog days can force out years of coldness in your body is obviously exaggerated and has no scientific basis. What are the dangers of eating too much ice in the dog days?Indigestion <br /> The dog days are the most vigorous period of Yang energy, both in nature and in the human body. Eating cold food at this time will deplete the body's Yang energy and affect the spleen and stomach function. In addition, icy drinks will cause gastric mucosal blood vessels to contract after consumption, reducing the secretion of gastric juice, while cold food will stimulate gastrointestinal motility and accelerate the discharge of food. Many foods will be transported to the intestines before they are fully digested, causing indigestion.Decreased appetite <br /> Eating too much cold food can damage the gastric mucosa, causing a decrease in gastric acid secretion in mild cases and even gastritis and gastric ulcers in severe cases, causing stomach problems, which can all reduce people's appetite. Colds and flu <br /> The dog days are the hottest period of the year, so it is common to experience heat and flu during this period. However, if you eat a lot of cold food, the body will have excess cold, which can cause colds and flu. Colds and flus during the dog days are easy to misdiagnose and difficult to treat. If you often drink cold drinks, your throat mucosa will be more or less damaged, making it easy to get a fungal infection, which can cause a fungal cold. Causes obesity <br /> During the dog days, many people like to eat frozen food, but the frozen food on the market is mostly sweet, and some even contain a lot of fat and are very high in calories. Excessive consumption of this kind of frozen food can lead to excess sugar and fat in the body, causing obesity. Menstrual pain <br /> During the hot summer days, eating some cold drinks is the most refreshing thing. However, female friends should be aware that when cold drinks enter the stomach, the blood vessels in the female endometrium will contract strongly, resulting in a sharp decrease in menstrual volume, and even symptoms such as amenorrhea and dysmenorrhea. What should you pay attention to when eating ice in the dog days?Avoid consuming too much cold drinks during the dog days <br /> Eating cold drinks during the dog days will dilute gastric juice, affect digestion, and stimulate the intestines, causing hyperperistalsis, shortening the time food stays in the small intestine, and affecting the body's digestion and absorption of food. Especially patients with acute and chronic gastrointestinal diseases should eat less or not eat it.Avoid consuming cold drinks after exercise during the dog days <br /> After strenuous exercise, people will experience elevated body temperature and congestion in the pharynx. If the stomach, intestines and throat are irritated by ice at this time, symptoms such as sore throat, hoarseness, cough, abdominal pain and diarrhea may easily occur. Avoid eating unclean cold drinks during the dog days <br /> Since Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi and Staphylococcus pyogenes can survive at a low temperature of -17℃, eating unclean cold drinks will harm your health. Summary: Through the above article, we know the physical effects of drinking cold drinks in the dog days of summer and some things to pay attention to when eating ice. I hope it can provide a reference for everyone! |
