The doctors explained the dangers of drinks with ice

Врачи объяснили, чем опасны напитки со льдомExperts say: drinks with ice is harmful for a body!

Imagine for a moment what happens to your body if you decide to go diving, to dive into the icy depths of a mountain lake. What happens to your body and skin? What feelings will you experience? Under the influence of the warm waters open pores, the skin becomes soft and slightly crumbly.

On the contrary, the cold water closes the pores and tightens the skin. The same effect happens with your digestive tract when you drink ice water.

Here are 5 main reasons why you should forever abandon the use of cooling drinks with ice:

1. The icy liquid instantly constricts blood vessels in the digestive system. This leads to dehydration and poor functioning.

2. The body needs more energy to regulate the temperature inside. When you drink ice water, your digestive tract lacks energy and is unable to digest food, properly extract nutrients, not to mention excessive fluid loss.

3. If you drink a glass of cold water after a meal, your body will begin to produce excess mucus. Your immune system will cease to perform its normal function.

4. If you drink cold drinks, the body can’t metabolize the surplus fats that will contribute to weight gain.

5. If you previously thought that cold water strengthens your immune function, helps you burn calories, you are not right. Your digestive system does not need the additional burden and the cold water always makes it worse.
