Affects the function of the spleen and stomach
Damage spleen Yang: Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach for the acquired, the main transport of water wet. Raw and cold food, such as cold drinks, is easy to damage the spleen and stomach Yang. The deficiency of spleen Yang will lead to the weakening of the transportation function of the spleen and stomach, making the metabolism of water and humidity more abnormal and aggravating the body moisture.
Affect digestion: After cold drinks enter the gastrointestinal tract, the blood vessels of the gastrointestinal tract will shrink, reduce blood flow, affect the secretion of digestive fluid and gastrointestinal peristalsis, resulting in indigestion. If food is not fully digested and absorbed, it is easy to produce moisture.

Drinking ice drinks will affect the function of these organs, especially the gasification function of the kidneys. The abnormal gasification of the kidney will lead to the disturbance of water metabolism and the accumulation of moisture in the body.
Lead to water wet endogenous: After the ice drink enters the human body, it needs to consume the Yang of the human body to warm. If you drink a lot for a long time, the Yang of the human body is damaged, it is easy to lead to water moisture and increase moisture.
Causing other uncomfortable symptoms
Aggravating cold and damp symptoms: For people who have cold and damp constitution themselves, drinking ice will make the evil of cold and damp more abundant, and there may be symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and increased joint pain.
