This summer is particularly hot, there are often high temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius, men and women, especially young and old love to eat ice or cold drinks to beat the summer heat, but cool in the mouth, beware of the anti-injury body! Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee reminded, hot weather, the body’s metabolic rate is high, once the diet temperature suddenly drop, disrupting blood circulation, not only easily derived from obesity, allergies and other problems, long-term, serious cases may also lead to heart valve prolapse and liver function is damaged.
As the saying goes, disease comes from the mouth, in the Chinese medicine, summer diet temperature if high and low, will indeed bring many diseases on the body. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee pointed out that the hot temperature, the body’s metabolic rate will naturally increase, at this time, the general feeling of people always want to control their own body temperature, blowing air conditioning, drinking cold drinks to cool down, but this action must be extra careful, especially after exercise, the heart is beating fast, the whole body metabolic rate is very high, if you suddenly take a lot of cold things down, although the first time the mouth feel comfortable, but Gastrointestinal temperature suddenly fell, the blood circulation will slow down.
Like emergency braking, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said, the gastrointestinal temperature is not enough to continue to promote blood circulation, and the sudden slowdown of blood circulation in the heart vessels will cause the Chinese people often say “injury to the middle qi”, leading to breathing difficulties, chest pain and other symptoms. The heart contracted poorly, and over time, serious cases will even lead to mitral valve, tricuspid valve and other valve prolapse, and the root cause of the disease is due to the summer sports after filling ice water.
The problem is not only serious, if the body’s temperature is not stable, the body’s metabolism can not be stable, and eventually may also damage the liver function, because in Chinese medicine, the liver is the body’s enzyme promoter, the reason why food can be converted into nutrients, calories, all depends on the liver to do the work.
The general public always think that the fish, meat and vegetables consumed in three meals can be turned into human nutrition, but they do not know that these have to go through the enzymes and beneficial bacteria in the stomach and intestines to ferment and decompose, and then the enzymes in the liver to decompose in order to become the nutrition needed by the body. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said, if the temperature changes too much during the decomposition, the body’s enzyme system will not decompose completely, and once the enzyme body and the beneficial bacteria are not healthy, the body’s function will decline.
The biggest dietary problem of modern people, according to Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, is using the stomach and intestines as a refrigerator. If the temperature inside the stomach is low, nutrients are not easily burned into calories and physical energy, and naturally, people do not want to exercise much and are easily fatigued. Even the body shape will become a “refrigerator”, square, no waistline, fat all over, and allergies.
It’s not that you can’t drink in the summer to beat the heat, but you have to be careful how you do it, you can’t just pour ice cubes in one gulp when your body is hot. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee suggested that warm water or room temperature cool water should be used instead, just like nature, the human body also emphasizes the wind and rain, so the temperature of the diet can be controlled by human beings.
A healthy liver gives you the energy you need to live life to the fullest!
