Summer diet care! Cold food VS hot food

In the hot summer, it is hard to get hot, ice cream, shaved ice, and all kinds of cold drinks are people's favorite. But if you blindly "cold", it may lead to coldness and accumulation of new diseases. Eating "hot" properly in the summer is good for keeping the body cold and heat balanced.

Many people say that it is easy to understand that the winter is cold, the yang is sealed, and the cold food is avoided to avoid losing yang. However, as usual, the summer yang is strong, and it is the least likely to be hurt by the "cold gas", so it is unscrupulous to eat cold drinks. However, the opposite is true. Summer is hot and the body's metabolism is strong. It is the most vulnerable to yang. When too much greed, it is easy to lose yang. Since ancient Chinese medicine, health science has emphasized that “spring and summer Yangyang” is to warn people that they cannot be excessively greedy in summer. Cool, otherwise it may cause many diseases.

Especially for female friends, the frequent consumption of cold drinks directly causes the cold evil to invade the human body, and the cold stagnation causes the menstrual blood and blood to be suffocated, the viscera and blood stasis are blocked, and the blood stagnation is impassable. This is what Chinese medicine says about "cold blood stasis, bloodlessness, and impassability." Most women with dysmenorrhea are inseparable from warm water bags and brown sugar ginger water during the physiological period. It is also because of the pain caused by "cold evil". After the "hot" temperature, the blood is smooth and running. Nothing, so the pain will be relieved. On the contrary, if you don't pay attention to keep warm when you have dysmenorrhea, the colder the more you hurt. Therefore, it is better to quench your thirst in the summer to “heat with heat”, such as drinking some hot tea.

Of course, the cold food is not only limited to the familiar ice cream and some cold drinks, but also includes uncooked food and cold dishes, which are all within the scope of “cool”. The spleen and stomach are easily plagued by cold air. Warm food can warm the spleen and stomach, increase the ability to transport, such as eating cold food, not easy to digest, or even diarrhea and other diseases caused by bacteria that have not been completely killed. Therefore, it is recommended not to eat cold food, especially meat, you need to cook and heat the mature food, so that it is easier to be digested and absorbed by the body.

Noodle soup, hot porridge

Three volts of high temperature and sultry, many people will have symptoms of "bitter summer" such as loss of appetite, lack of body and so on.

In the old saying, there is a saying that "the head of the dumplings is two-faced, and the three-volt pancakes spread the eggs." At this time, eating a bowl of steaming noodles, sweating out, can take away a lot of heat in the body, relieve the heat and cool, appetizing.

Hot food such as hot noodle soup and hot porridge can be used as a staple food to alleviate the discomfort caused by eating too much cold food. The black tea in the tea is warm and suitable for people with spleen and stomach cold.

Small attention to eating cold food in summer

Ice cream, sweet carbonated drinks, fruit juices and a variety of alcoholic beverages, chilled fruits and vegetables, chilled or cold-watered pasta and delicacies are the most popular summer snacks in the summer. Eating a proper cold food in the summer can not only cool off the heat, but also replenish the body with water, electrolytes and vitamins lost due to the heat. However, improper selection of ingredients for cold food, excessive consumption, and incorrect timing or method may adversely affect the human body and even lead to acute and chronic diseases.

1, cold food can not be excessive

Eating a lot of cold drinks in a short period of time, suddenly absorb a lot of water, will make the blood components diluted, often causing palpitation, shortness of breath or sweating.

Long-term consumption of cold food, the biggest damage is the gastrointestinal tract. Taking the stomach as an example, the gastric mucosa has two barrier structures to counteract the attack factors of the gastric cavity: the gastric mucosal epithelium is composed of a layer of mucosal cells, and the mucosal cells are closely linked to form a "mucosal barrier"; in addition, the mucosal barrier The surface also has a mucus secreted by mucosal cells that form a "mucus barrier." The maintenance and renewal of these two barriers depends on the functional state of the small blood vessels under the gastric mucosa.

Ordinary cold food and body temperature difference of 20-30 degrees Celsius, long-term fasting cold food, the gastric submucosal vasoconstriction, mucosal nutritional status is poor, mucus secretion is reduced, the tight connection between mucosal cells becomes weak, resulting in two layers of barrier structure are affected Loss, when it is not enough to resist the attack of gastric acid and pepsin, mucosal edema and erosion will occur, chronic gastritis will occur, and various symptoms of upper abdominal discomfort will occur.

2, avoid eating a lot of cold food on an empty stomach.

On the one hand, the surface temperature of the gastric mucosa is lowered, and the blood vessels are contracted, which reduces the resistance of the mucosa to the invading factors; on the other hand, the cold, irritating and greasy, spicy or sugary ingredients in the cold food can cause an increase in gastric acid secretion and invasion of the mucous membrane. Strengthened action, coupled with weakened protective factors, can easily lead to inflammation and even ulceration of the gastric mucosa.

3, after strenuous exercise, it is not appropriate to eat a lot of cold food.

On the one hand, strenuous activity often redistributes the blood of the whole body, most of the blood is in the muscles of the extremities or trunk, and the blood content of the organs including the gastrointestinal tract is reduced; the vasoconstriction of the gastric mucosa caused by the cold stimulation makes the blood of the gastrointestinal tract More reduced, digestive enzyme secretion is also sharply reduced, leading to gastrointestinal disorders, affecting food digestion, and even can cause nausea and vomiting and abdominal pain, diarrhea.

On the other hand, exercise causes the temperature of the visceral and other internal organs to rise, and the sudden cold stimulation of the cold food easily leads to gastrointestinal spasm and causes abdominal pain.
