Which is cooler, iced coffee or iced cola? The correct answer is...

On hot days, besides air conditioning, the best thing to make people feel cool is - all kinds of ice drinks!

Seeing this, some people will definitely say that iced drinks are unhealthy!

Regarding this issue, Dr. Ma Qin from the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery at West China Hospital of Sichuan University said:

👇👇👇

Although cold drinks do have a certain effect on the stomach, our human body still has a good regulatory mechanism.

As long as you don't drink large amounts of cold drinks continuously, most people are still very resistant to this situation.

Not only that, Dr. Machin also specially arranged for everyone to have this "Healthy Drinking of Iced Drinks" guide, which includes 6 summer cold drinks that everyone likes , such as iced coffee, iced cola , etc.!

I suggest you forward and collect it!

①A healthy adult should not drink more than 500ml of cold drinks per day.

On the one hand, drinking cold drinks can directly lower our core body temperature; on the other hand, the carbon dioxide in the cold drinks is released in the stomach in the form of gas, which will take away heat while burping, and can play a certain role in relieving heat.

But everyone still needs to control the amount of drinking and not drink too much!

② People with irritable bowel syndrome, acute gastritis, children and the elderly should not drink cold drinks no matter how hot it is.

Okay, now that the premise is out, you can continue reading if you meet the requirements!

① Iced coffee

👉 Health Factor: 🌟🌟🌟

👉 Scoring basis:

① Coffee can promote gastrointestinal motility and improve constipation;

② Coffee can also refresh the mind. For workers who are "overworked", a cup of coffee can instantly increase their work efficiency;

③ At the same time, caffeine can dilate blood vessels, inhibit liver fibrosis, and reduce liver damage.

👉 Thirst quenching factor: 🌟🌟

👉 Scoring basis:

① Black coffee without sugar can quench your thirst;

② But if it is milk coffee, especially after adding sugar, it has no advantage in quenching thirst!

Drinking Suggestions

👉 Drinking time:

① It is recommended to drink it at breakfast and in the afternoon to reduce gastrointestinal irritation;

② For those who want to lose weight , it is recommended to drink it one hour before exercise to promote metabolism! (It is best to drink sugar-free coffee~)

❎ Taboo groups:

① People with poor gastrointestinal function and gastrointestinal diseases;

② People whose heart rate speeds up or even experiences irregular heartbeat after drinking coffee;

③ Patients diagnosed with osteoporosis;

④ Pregnant women, although it is not necessary to completely prohibit it, but considering the relationship with caffeine, it is better to drink as little as possible;

⑤ Minors and the elderly.

② Ice water

👉 Health Factor: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

👉 Scoring basis:

① In summer, the weather is hot. The higher the temperature, the more water the body loses, so drinking more water can replenish the body's water in time;

② Ice water can refresh your mind and promote your body’s metabolism;

👉 Thirst quenching factor: 🌟🌟🌟

👉 Scoring basis:

Ice water does have a certain thirst-quenching effect, but it is still a little worse than warm water.

Warm water can not only replenish water in time, but also cause blood vessels to dilate, promote sweating, bring out the heat in the body, actually lower the body temperature, and make us feel cooler .

So I have to deduct a ☆ for ice water here!

Drinking Suggestions

👉 Drinking time:

You need to avoid drinking on an empty stomach or after strenuous exercise to reduce irritation to the stomach and intestines and prevent adverse reactions in the body.

❎ Taboo groups:

① People with poor gastrointestinal function and gastrointestinal diseases;

② Minors and the elderly.

③Ice milk

👉 Health Factor: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

👉 Scoring basis:

① For adults, drinking 300ml of milk every day can help replenish calcium in the body;

② Drinking milk every day helps maintain a balanced diet in the body;

👉 Thirst quenching factor: 🌟

👉 Scoring basis:

The key to quenching thirst is mainly determined by the sugar content. Milk is rich in lactose, so milk is not good at quenching thirst!

Drinking Suggestions

👉 Drinking time: Avoid drinking on an empty stomach!

❎ Taboo groups:

① People with lactose intolerance are advised to drink lactose-free dairy products;

② People with poor gastrointestinal function or gastrointestinal diseases are not recommended to drink ice milk;

③Minors and the elderly can drink room temperature or hot milk, but not ice milk!

④Cold brew tea

👉 Health Factor: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

👉 Scoring basis:

① Compared with hot water-brewed tea, the caffeine content in cold-brewed tea is greatly reduced, which is more friendly for people who are worried about not being able to sleep after drinking tea;

② The bitterness of tea brewed with cold water will be weaker, and it will taste sweeter when you drink it;

③ Tea itself is rich in tea polyphenols, amino acids, multiple vitamins and other nutrients, and is very good for health!

👉 Thirst quenching factor: 🌟🌟🌟

👉 Scoring basis:

The tea meets the low sugar requirement , so the thirst quenching effect deserves three stars!

Drinking Suggestions

👉 Drinking time:

Just avoid fasting and before bedtime .

❎ Taboo groups:

① People who are allergic to ingredients in tea;

② People with sleep disorders;

③ Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases;

④ Patients with gastrointestinal diseases;

⑤ Patients with abnormal liver and kidney function;

⑥Minors.

Although doctors will not interfere with everyone's independent choice, they still hope that everyone will not drink the following two high-sugar drinks!

Because apart from bringing happiness, there is really nothing about them that has anything to do with "health" from the hair to the toes!

① “Industrialized” milk tea

● From the ingredients point of view: a cup of industrial milk tea ≈ creamer/fresh milk + various chewy ingredients + tea.

When these ingredients are combined, not only does the sugar content exceed the standard, but it also contains a large amount of trans fatty acids and various additives.

According to a survey by the Shanghai Consumer Council, the average caffeine content in a cup of milk tea is 270 mg, and the highest content is 428 mg, which means that 1 cup of milk tea ≈ 3.5 cups of American coffee ≈ 7 cans of Red Bull!

However, rapid and large-scale intake of caffeine can cause adverse physical and physiological reactions, such as nervousness, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, etc.

● From the perspective of thirst quenching effect: sugary drinks enter cells through cell membranes at a relatively slow rate, so milk tea containing a large amount of sugar will make people more thirsty the more they drink.

To sum up, drinking a cup of milk tea is equivalent to drinking a cup of high-sugar + high-concentration caffeine + additive mixture, which not only fails to quench your thirst, but also harms your health!

② Cola/Juice

● From the ingredients: both cola and fruit juice contain a lot of sugar.

Long-term consumption of beverages containing large amounts of sugar is not only likely to cause cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, osteoporosis and other diseases, but also increases our risk of colon cancer.

● From the perspective of thirst quenching: Let me say it again, cola and fruit juice that are sweet to the core do not quench thirst, and may even make you thirstier the more you drink!

Finally, let’s summarize
