In the Far East, childern are raised to avoid eating or drinking cold stuff. As kids grow up and spend more and more time watching television﹐t hey are exposed to a different value system in which “cool” is good, and icy cold is exciting. They begin to question the validity of the tradition. Afterall, ice cream tastes so good and icy drink tastes so satisfying. What can possibly be wrong?
Many things happen when our body is exposed to cold: blood flow slows down, muscles contract. Therefore, if we ingest large amount of cold food, our intestine motility slows which increases the absortion of foods. This tends to increse body weight. Worst off is often the coldness decends to the lower abdominal area and causing dysfunctions of ovaries and uterus of females. One typical problem is the painful menstruation.
We are not saying cold stuff can not be used at all. Knowing the consequences, for most people, moderation is the rule of the thumb.
