Foods that are forbidden to eat cold

Everyone was too lazy to reheat food at least once. What for? After all, you can have a snack with a cold lunch. And at work there is a chance not to notice the “so-so” taste.

But just two minutes spent warming up can save you at least half an hour on the treadmill. Doctors have compiled a list of foods that should never be eaten cold.

1. Red meat

Roast beef, stored in a container for a work snack, often ends up in our mouth cold. And how many times did we finish eating the remaining meat from the evening gatherings at the barbecue on the second day?

No and no again! Meat itself is difficult to digest … And eating it cold, you will make the body work twice as hard.

“If a person has consumed something cold, and even with animal proteins in the composition, then the stomach will not be able to digest this food and will quickly throw it into the small intestine,” scientists say. And the doctors confirm.

“The task of the small intestine is to break down carbohydrates, but it is not feasible in this case, because bacteria enter the small intestine from cold protein foods, which interfere with the normal functioning of this digestive organ,” – the therapist Gulnara Tarkhanova shares with Wday.ru.

2. Cold water with meals

With the advice of nutritionists from “every iron” about the benefits of water, we drink it in the morning, during the day, and even manage to drink it with food. But this is absolutely impossible to do. Even if you drink a complex lunch in a cafe, you will be offered a cold compote – put off the drink for later.

Well, first of all, remember that water stretches the walls of the stomach and next time you can only get enough food. And secondly, you run the risk of slowing down the work of the digestive system.

Drinking fatty food with cool water, you skillfully create a lower temperature at which the fat … freezes!

3. Pilaf and other fatty foods

And no, we do not mean boiled rice by pilaf. And we mean a real oriental dish, cooked with a lot of oil and fatty meat. As a rule, it is lamb.

Having decided to finish eating yesterday’s pilaf directly from the refrigerator, you send frozen fat into the stomach …

“After such fatty dishes, it is better for the body to generally unload on lighter food, but if you already decided to use the remaining pilaf or fried lamb ribs, then do not be too lazy to at least warm them up,” the doctor continues. – A cold dish with this fat content will at best cause a heaviness in the stomach. At worst, it can lead to severe colic and intestinal obstruction. “

4. Soups

Okroshka and other summer soups don’t count. After all, they are prepared so that they can be consumed without warming up. Another point is if you decide to eat borsch, cabbage soup or, say, hearty shurpa with ice cold.

These soups are usually prepared with a lot of oil fries. Remember, at least how many times you take out a frying pan while cooking the same borscht …

Well, the conclusion suggests itself. Hearty soups from the Soviet past can be easily equated with fatty dishes like pilaf and lamb.

5. Tea with honey

Everything is simpler here. The drink will not have any destructive effect on the body. But it will not bring any benefit either, if only because real honey is quite viscous and it simply cannot dissolve in cold water.

It is curious that it is better not to add bee drink to boiling water either. In this case, honey runs the risk of losing its beneficial remedies. The most correct way would be to add sweetness to the slightly cooled tea.
