Cold Drinks & Brain Health Neurologists recommend safe tasting!
With the arrival of summer, cold drinks have become a favorite for many people to cool off. However, there are often some misconceptions about brain health.
In the eyes of neurologists, consuming cold beverages in moderation does not have a negative impact on brain health, but may bring some unexpected benefits.
First, let's correct a common misconception. Many people believe that cold drinks can irritate the brain, causing headaches or other discomforts. In fact, there is no scientific basis for this view. The stimulating effect of cold drinks is mainly concentrated in the mouth and digestive tract, and it causes blood vessels to constrict, which lowers the local temperature. This change in local temperature does not have a substantial effect on the brain.
So, how can cold drinks benefit brain health? From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the normal functioning of brain function is closely related to the flow of qi and blood.
Some of the ingredients in cold drinks can stimulate the body's yang energy, thereby promoting the circulation of qi and blood. This effect is helpful in relieving brain fatigue and improving mental agility.
Of course, we can't ignore the sugars and additives in cold drinks. Excessive intake of sugar and additives is harmful to the body, especially for diabetics and children. Therefore, neurologists recommend that you choose natural, low-sugar, and low-additive cold drinks, such as coconut water, green tea, etc.
In addition, for the maintenance of brain health, in addition to paying attention to diet, you should also maintain a good routine and rest habits, increase exercise, reduce stress, etc. Only when these aspects are fully paid attention to and cared for can our brain health be effectively guaranteed.
In conclusion, consuming cold beverages in moderation does not have a negative impact on brain health.
