In hot weather or as a matter of habit, almost everyone likes to drink cold beverages or eat cold foods (like ice cream) without noticing the potential problems that will be encountered or connect it to the temperature of the food or drink you take into your body.
Can you name any digestive diseases relate to intake cold foods and/or drinks?
Our digestion system peristalsis. It needs energy. If drink ice cold water will take away the body energy and lower the metabolic energy. From here, we can understand what health problems can be caused. Please put down your ideas.
Dear Carole C Tranchant ,
Thanks for your comments and links. It reminds me that the western medical schools must add Chinese medicine knowledge. So, the western medicine can save a lot researches and puzzles. The most important is the patients can have a better quality of life.
There are two things that I want to share with you.
If you look at the picture, there are only 4 points, let me name them A, B, C, D that are the only balance points that you draw a line pass the center that have the equal white (yang) and black (yin). A on the top, C on the bottom of the circle, B (right side) and D (left side) are on the half way of A and C opposite side on the circle.
A is the point turning to the black and C is the point starts to be white. It means that at the extreme, the black and white reversed. That's why moving in the same way, eventually will get a total reverse result. Therefore, depending on a patient's situation, if we treat one way does not work, we reverse it to treat. It works.
The philosophy and culture habits make the western and Chine as well as the medicine have a big differences. Usually, the western side culture or the medicine once discover some thing better, they keep going. Yet, the traditional Chinese always set a limit that everything is "depends".
Such as drink water can help health. So, western medicine encourages people to drink "more water". Instead, depends on each person's health condition, we do not encourage everyone drink water. It's due to the healthy person can wring out the extra water. But, for some organs, weak person, we let the weak organ(s) recover their functions. Then, the patient knows how much water to drink to fit his body needs.
