In summer, many people are really not suitable for drinking iced drinks, mainly because it is easy to cause us to consume more cold, especially those with bad stomachs. If we indulge in cold drinks, the temperature in our stomach will drop sharply, which will easily lead to abdominal distension, indigestion and even colic and diarrhea. Then, if you insist on drinking hot water and don't eat cold food and iced drinks in the dog days, will it force out the cold that has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow for many years? It is mainly because the main ways of heat dissipation of human body are sweating and evaporation, and 0.58 calories can be taken away per 1 g of sweat. When people drink tea or take a hot bath, "heat" stimulates the temperature receptors of the human body, which makes the skin capillaries and pores expand rapidly, greatly increases blood flow and strengthens sweat secretion, thus effectively radiating the deep heat of the human body, so it has no effect on us to drive away the cold.
Moreover, the main purpose of drinking more hot water in summer is to perspire, expel the heat in the body, and reduce fever with heat, which is what Chinese medicine calls sweating and relieving exterior syndrome, relieving diarrhea and clearing heat. But it's just a way to keep fit. It doesn't mean that the cold in the body can be eliminated in a short dog days. This is a situation that we should be aware of. If we want to get rid of the cold, we should eat more warm food. As the saying goes, "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and the doctor won't prescribe medicine." Brown sugar ginger tea warms the stomach. In summer, you can "eat hot and wear cold" and drink it when it is cold. It is also hot food in the stomach, which easily leads us to consume more coldness. Therefore, when eating cold food in summer, you can match some warm foods, such as wax gourd, and add some pepper before cooking to induce diuresis and detoxification. At the same time, soaking feet in hot water can also drive away the cold, but the soaking time should not be too long. You can feel sweating after 10- 15 minutes. If you feel cold, you can also go to the hospital for scraping, cupping, dog moxibustion and taking Chinese medicine to drive away the cold. Don't miss it.
