Women should never eat ice cream at these 5 times

Traditional Chinese medicine has the saying that "cold blocks contraction and cold damages Yang Qi". If you eat ice at an inappropriate time, it can really harm your body.

1. When the body is very hot:

After intense exercise and when you are sweating profusely, if you cool your body down quickly, it can easily cause various discomforts, such as headaches, stomachaches, and muscle aches.

When the body temperature rises, drinking a lot of cold drinks is a strong cold stimulation to the digestive tract, which can cause strong peristalsis of the digestive tract and produce abdominal pain and diarrhea. At the same time, the sudden changes in temperature will cause the blood vessels in the stomach to contract suddenly. If this happens too often, it will cause digestive and absorption disorders, resulting in indigestion or other diseases.

In addition, if it is after strenuous exercise, the throat may be in a state of congestion, and excessive cold stimulation can cause throat pain, hoarseness and other phenomena.

2. During the menstrual period and one week before and after menstruation for girls:

In order to drain menstrual blood cleanly, the blood must be kept in a "warm" state so that it can flow smoothly. Once you eat cold food, the blood will be stimulated by the temperature change, which will cause poor circulation, blood clots to form easily, and cause menstrual pain.

Cold stagnation in the uterus will cause menstrual pain, blood clots, and the uterus is prone to disease.

3. On an empty stomach:

The spleen and stomach are colder when the stomach is empty. The coldness will affect the digestion of the spleen and stomach, and even cause gastrointestinal ulcers.

For healthy people, the stomach is already empty before meals, and drinking cold drinks is an irritation to the stomach. Over time, it may cause more gastric acid secretion and even cause unnecessary stomach pain. People with stomach problems, such as excessive gastric acid, gastritis, gastric ulcer, reflux gastritis, and reflux esophagitis should not eat ice on an empty stomach.

4. Respiratory discomfort:

Whether it is a cold, asthma, cough or other respiratory discomfort, it is not suitable to eat ice, so as to avoid the ice stimulating tracheal contraction and causing long-term cough.

5. Headache or muscle aches:

Ice will cause blood vessels and muscles to constrict further, increasing pain.
