Eating hot pot in the cold winter is a great pleasure, and drinking cold beverages alongside might be a habit for some people. However, experts say this is a severe test for the stomach and blood pressure. They suggest that if you want to drink something cold after eating hot food to quench your thirst, it's best to wait at least three minutes to reduce the impact on your body.
Doctors point out that after drinking hot soup, blood vessels expand. If a large amount of cold beverage is consumed at this time, the blood vessels will contract sharply, leading to increased blood pressure, and symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and even nausea.
Doctors say that from a physical perspective, the encounter of extremely cold and extremely hot substances can cause an explosion, not to mention inside the human body. This is especially dangerous for people who already have slightly high blood pressure.
Additionally, consuming foods with a strong temperature contrast in a short period can directly damage gastrointestinal function. Since the digestion of food is a process, drinking cold beverages immediately after hot soup can cause uneven temperature in the stomach and intestines, leading to strong stimulation and easily causing symptoms such as stomach pain, bloating, and abdominal distension. The overall contraction of the digestive tract can also worsen high blood pressure.
