The disadvantages of eating cold drinks in summer

When the weather is hot in summer, people like to eat some cooling foods, such as ice cream, iced fruit, cold noodles, etc., to cool down the body through external conditions. Some people, especially girls, like to eat cold drinks in summer, but it is well known that eating too much cold food is very bad for women's health, so female friends are advised to eat less cold food. Let's take a look at the disadvantages of eating cold drinks in summer~

1. The harm of drinking too much cold drinks in summer

1. The more you drink, the more thirsty you become

Many people drink cold drinks in summer to quench their thirst, but if you really want to do this, it is wrong. Because many cold drinks now contain sugar, these sugars will stimulate the secretion of digestive juices, and the calories they contain will accelerate the evaporation of water in our bodies, making us more thirsty the more we drink.

2. Reduce appetite

Everyone knows that cold drinks are basically high-calorie foods containing sugar, which can replenish the heat energy needed by the human body. However, because cold drinks lack other substances needed by the body, if we drink too much cold drinks, it will lead to a decrease in our appetite.

3. Harm to the stomach and intestines

The stomach and intestines are an organ that cannot tolerate stimulation. If you drink a lot of cold drinks frequently, your stomach and intestines will always be in a cold state, which can easily damage them. Therefore, if you drink too many cold drinks in summer, it is easy to damage your stomach and intestines. In severe cases, it can also cause diarrhea and abdominal pain.

4. Induce throat diseases

When we drink cold drinks, they will pass through our throat, and the coldness will cause the blood vessels in the throat to contract, slowly reducing blood flow and lowering immunity. This will give other bacteria an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and cause throat diseases.

2. What should you pay attention to when drinking cold drinks?

1. Cold drinks that have been stored for too long cannot be drunk

Many cold drinks are freshly made and have a very short shelf life. Moreover, cold drinks are basically stored in the refrigerator. The refrigerator cannot kill viruses, so if the cold drink is ready, drink it immediately, otherwise it may cause bacterial invasion. Furthermore, no matter what food is fresh, cold drinks that have been stored for too long will no longer be fresh and their quality will deteriorate.

2. Don’t drink cold drinks after sweating

Many people choose to drink a large bottle of cold drink to cool down when they sweat, but today I would like to tell you that this practice is wrong. Because when the body sweats. Our capillaries are open, in a state of expelling heat, and drinking cold drinks at this time will cause the capillaries to shrink rapidly, making it impossible for the heat in the body to be discharged in time.

3. Don’t drink too many cold drinks

If you drink too much cold drinks, it will easily damage your stomach and intestines, so don't drink too much cold drinks in normal times.
