Cold Drink Safety Tips Enjoy a summer drink under the guidance of an infectious disease doctor!
With the arrival of summer, cold drinks have become the first choice for many people to quench their thirst.
However, while enjoying the coolness, we should also be wary of the health risks that cold drinks may bring. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the yang qi of the human body floats outside in summer, and the yang qi of the spleen and stomach is relatively weak, and excessive intake of raw and cold food at this time can easily lead to impaired spleen and stomach function, causing diarrhea, abdominal pain and other symptoms. This article will provide you with a safe tip for cold drinks from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, so that you can enjoy summer drinks under the guidance of an infectious disease doctor.
1. Understand your physique and choose suitable cold drinks.
Everyone's physique is different, and their adaptability to food is also different. When choosing a cold drink, it should be based on your own situation. For people with weak spleen and stomach yang qi, they should try to avoid excessive intake of raw and cold food, so as not to increase the burden on the spleen and stomach. For those who are hot and like to eat raw and cold, they can consume cold drinks in moderation, but do not overdo it. In addition, the intake of cold drinks should be adjusted according to the temperature and personal sweating to avoid the impact on health due to coldness.
2. Reasonable combination of ingredients to enrich the taste of cold drinks.
When choosing cold drinks, consider pairing them with ingredients that strengthen the spleen and quench heat, such as mung beans, chrysanthemums, watermelon, etc. These ingredients can not only increase the nutritional value of cold drinks, but also enrich the taste and satisfy the taste buds. In addition, natural condiments such as honey and lemon can be added in appropriate amounts according to personal taste to enhance the taste and nutritional value of cold drinks.
3. Pay attention to the quality of cold drinks to ensure food safety.
When buying cold drinks, you should choose a regular merchant and pay attention to check the production date, shelf life and other information of the product. For self-refrigerated beverages, it is necessary to ensure that the ingredients are fresh and clean to avoid food safety hazards caused by hygiene problems. In addition, when drinking cold drinks, you should pay attention to whether the product has abnormal phenomena such as peculiar smell and flocculents, and stop drinking immediately if you have any doubts.
4. Control the intake of cold drinks and follow the principle of moderation.
When enjoying cold drinks, the principle of moderation should be followed. Excessive intake of cold beverages can lead to impaired spleen and stomach function, leading to digestive problems. In addition, excessive intake of ingredients such as sugar can also increase the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Therefore, when choosing cold drinks, you should control your intake according to your personal situation and do not chew too much.
5. Special groups of people should carefully choose cold drinks.
For children, the elderly, pregnant women and people with weak bodies, the spleen and stomach function is relatively weak, and excessive intake of raw and cold food should be avoided as much as possible. When choosing cold drinks, choose mild, low-sugar products and control your intake. For diabetic patients, high-sugar cold drinks should be avoided and low-sugar or sugar-free drinks can be chosen. For people with allergies, they should pay attention to check whether they are allergic to the ingredients in cold drinks, and stop drinking immediately if they find allergens.
6. Scientifically store cold drinks to maintain hygiene and safety.
When it comes to storing cold beverages, a scientific approach should be followed. Unopened cold drinks should be kept away from direct sunlight, high temperatures and other environments, and placed in a cool place as much as possible. Cold beverages that have been opened should be consumed as soon as possible to avoid deterioration of quality caused by prolonged storage. During storage, care should be taken to keep the container clean and hygienic to avoid cross-infection and bacterial growth.
In short, when enjoying summer cold drinks, we should start from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, pay attention to personal physique, rational combination of ingredients, pay attention to food safety, and control intake.
