【Laiwo Medical ：Knowledge Sharing】Have you been hit by the side effects of summer cooling CP?
Publish Date： 2025/7/4
Before entering the dog days of summer, the weather was already too hot to bear. Walking on the street now, every tile was performing the "Birth of Teppanyaki". It can be said that the distance between me and the grilled meat is only a pinch of cumin. Even wearing shorts and short sleeves, it is difficult to resist the heat and has no cooling effect at all. I just want to work with air conditioning every day WiFi、 These three people live a comfortable life with cold drinks, and have no other desires.
Cold drinks and air conditioning are undoubtedly the two major "treasures" for people to fight against the scorching heat. After being exposed to the scorching sun, having a refreshing cup of milk tea or cola and entering the cool air-conditioned room is a pleasant experience. However, this seemingly pleasant cool experience may quietly harm your digestive system and even lay hidden dangers for hemorrhoids.
Cold drinks: the cool and sweet 'killer'
When a 5 ℃ ice drink enters the 37 ℃ digestive tract, the gastrointestinal blood vessels will instantly contract due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction. This stress response is like pouring cold water on a high-speed engine, causing a decrease in digestive fluid secretion and food retention in the intestines, which can easily lead to bloating, abdominal pain, indigestion and other problems. Over time, the normal peristalsis of the intestines will also be affected, leading to constipation and indirectly adding fuel to hemorrhoids.
Air conditioning: the 'hidden assassin' of cold sensation barrier
Air conditioning is undoubtedly a life-saving tool in summer, but if exposed to a low-temperature air conditioning environment for a long time, it can be a dangerous "low-temperature trap" for the digestive system. Once the abdomen gets cold, digestive function will inevitably be affected, and symptoms such as acid reflux, heartburn, and stomach pain are likely to occur. Meanwhile, prolonged use of air conditioning and exposure to cold can cause constriction of blood vessels around the anus, leading to poor blood flow and an increased risk of hemorrhoids. Especially for office workers who sit still for a long time in air-conditioned rooms, the blood circulation in the pelvic and anal areas is already slow. In addition, the cold stimulation creates a "breeding ground" for the occurrence of hemorrhoids. In addition, the air in air-conditioned rooms is dry, and human moisture evaporates quickly. If water is not replenished in a timely manner, it can easily lead to dry stools. During defecation, it is necessary to hold your breath forcefully, which increases abdominal pressure and further increases the burden of hemorrhoids.
High temperature and heat, we cannot blindly indulge in coolness! Laiwo Medical kindly reminds you that true summer wisdom is never about being rigid with high temperatures, but about making ice drink air conditioners a thoughtful and thoughtful match that understands moderation.
For example, when drinking cold drinks, do not exceed the amount of a small bottle of mineral water (100-150 milliliters) each time, drink slowly in small sips, and try to "keep a distance" from the cold drinks for half an hour before and after meals. Just adjust the air conditioning temperature to around 26 ℃, and don't stay still in the air-conditioned room. Get up and move around every 1-2 hours to promote blood circulation. When sleeping, do not let the air conditioning blow directly into your abdomen. It is recommended to cover it with a thin blanket for protection. In fact, as long as you grasp the balance, you can find a balance between enjoying coolness and maintaining health.
