Summer, with what's the best match?
Iced drinks, air conditioning, iced watermelon!
"Eat melons" every day
Become a "regular operation" for many people
Some people buy watermelon later
I also like to keep it chilled in the refrigerator first
After that, it was "dazzling" in one breath
Although eating this way "cold dip, so refreshing"
But not for everyone!
Someone went to the hospital because of this...
A few bites of iced watermelon
The 53-year-old Ah Shu pulled his legs soft
Two days ago, when he was treated in the Department of Spleen and Gastroenterology of Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Mr. Wang (pseudonym), 53, had weak steps and weak legs. "The weather was too hot, and it happened that the watermelon sold at the fruit shop downstairs was much cheaper than before, so I quickly bought one. Later, I put it in the refrigerator and took it out for half a day to eat, and not long after eating, I started to have diarrhea, and I almost couldn't stand up! He sighed.
Recently, patients like Mr. Wang have increased a lot. The spleen and stomach doctor asked carefully, most of them were related to "ice watermelon", and the spleen and stomach were usually "cold".
Moreover, in 2021
Guangdong CDC has also reported such a case:
A woman nearly died eating overnight iced watermelon.
The reason is that the ice watermelon is not properly preserved,
Bacterial infection causes:
Watermelon is good though
These people should eat less!
Doctor's Reminder:
Although watermelon quenches heat and thirst, there are many benefits, but these people should eat less or not eat watermelon:
➤ Those with cold spleen and stomach should eat with caution. For people who have a cold spleen and stomach, eating watermelon is equivalent to making things worse. Cold retraction, abdominal pain, cold and wet yang, diarrhea.
➤ People with renal insufficiency should eat with caution. Its kidneys' ability to regulate water is greatly reduced, and eating a large amount of watermelon in a short period of time will increase the water in the body, if you cannot regulate and excrete too much water in the body, it is easy to die due to acute heart failure.
➤ Diabetics need to eat watermelon in moderation. Otherwise, not only will blood sugar rise, but acidosis may also occur due to metabolic disorders.
➤ Pregnant women should not eat more watermelon. The mother's physique is relatively weak, eating more watermelon will be too cold and damage the spleen and stomach, and eating before and after meals will affect the digestion and absorption of food.
➤ Women with dysmenorrhea should not eat ice watermelon. Women with dysmenorrhea themselves have not smooth qi and blood, ice watermelon is cold, cold convergence, eating ice watermelon will only aggravate the lack of circulation of qi and blood, and menstrual pain will be more serious.
Scratch the point!

It can be eaten like this

The two modes switch from time to time,
Plus air conditioning, cold drinks, iced watermelon,
Pay little attention, be careful of "hot cold"
How can it be prevented? How to eat in summer?
"Heat cold" is a kind of "wind and heat cold", the cause of which is hot weather in summer easy to sweat, and then directly exposed to air-conditioned rooms and fans, or drink a lot of frozen drinks or eat frozen fruits, etc., resulting in cold into the body, and "summer humid heat" collides, resulting in wind heat cold. If you are a person with a humid and hot constitution, you are more likely to get sick.
"Heat cold", in addition to respiratory symptoms, is common on the gastrointestinal system, the typical features of which are as follows:
1. Common yellow thick phlegm and yellow sticky nasal discharge. Because the "hot cold" is more hot, steaming liquid, refining liquid is phlegm, so yellow phlegm is more likely to appear, and its texture is thicker; The heat is more humid, and wet is sticky, so the secretion is also sticky.
2. Long-term fever. Wet viscosity often leads to lingering disease, and the ambient temperature is high, it is difficult to dissipate heat, and the fever subsides soon after taking antipyretic drugs. Children are more likely to have this symptom because they have less subcutaneous fat, hypodevelopment of body temperature regulation and blood circulation center, and poor ability to regulate body temperature.
3. Loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, bowel sounds and diarrhea, accompanied by heavy body and weakness of limbs.
