Chapter 682 The Cheapskate Drinks Cold Water (Subscribe)

Speaking of mung bean soup, Li Yuan suddenly remembered that when his grandmother came here a few days ago, he had brought some mung beans for himself. Today, he can cook some mung bean soup to relieve the heat!
Thinking of this, Li Yuan suddenly got up from the bed, then came to the kitchen, and began to rummage through the mung beans brought by the grandmother last time. Sure enough, he found the bag of mung beans in a sealed container.

Li Yuan: "Sure enough, I'm here. It's just right. I'm going to sleep today. I'll boil you and make iced mung bean soup to relieve the heat!"

Studio.

"Did I hear you right? Just now the host suggested that we drink something cold?"

"Didn't you say that you can't drink cold drinks in summer? Why are you doing the opposite, anchor!"

"My grandma told me since I was a child...don't drink cold things, it's not good for your health."

"That's right, didn't Chinese medicine say that cold things should be touched less? You, the anchor... are not professional!"

"That's right, anchor, what you told us is different from others?"

"That's right, young man of the Li family, it's better to drink less cold water in summer, it's not good for your health."

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows, but was a little puzzled.

"You can't drink it cold? Which quack doctor told you this?"

Seeing Li Yuan say that, everyone hesitated instead.

Studio.

"Is not it?"

"It seems that everyone said so..."

"That's right, the elderly at home are basically allowed to drink hot water, but the water in the refrigerator is never allowed to drink. Even if they drink, they have to wait for two hours."

"Yes, yes, my parents are like this!"

"Well, although my family also said so, but I have been drinking cold water for more than ten years, and I don't feel anything!"

"That's right, don't all foreign countries drink cold water?"

"A foreign country is a foreign country, and our physique is different!"

Li Yuan shook his head.

"We're all human, so what's the difference in physique?"

"Even if they have different physiques, there are countries with similar physiques. It's fine for other people to drink cold water. Why can't we drink it?"

"In fact, everyone's thoughts on the issue of drinking cold water have always been too extreme."

"Cold water is never undrinkable, it's just that some people's physique is not suitable for drinking cold water, and there will be some emergency reactions such as headaches, toothaches, or gastrointestinal discomfort."

"But everyone doesn't know... In fact, even foreigners who are used to drinking cold water, this happens."

In our traditional habits, not only ice water, but all raw and cold foods are not recommended.

Such as some ice cream, popsicles, ice water, and ice watermelon, etc., are all existences that everyone avoids.Even... Everyone has to admit that the iced food is really delicious.

And even in the 80s, there was still a saying in the streets and alleys that cheapskates drink cold water, which shows how unpopular this cold water is.

On the contrary, it is about hot water... Until now, we have a kind of obsession with obsession.

Drink some hot water when you have a cold, drink some hot water when you have a stomachache, drink some hot water when you have dysmenorrhea... and even now, there is a joke about 'boyfriend and hot water' on the Internet.

Why drink hot water to nourish the stomach, and drink cold water to hurt the stomach... If hot water is really so good, then there are so many dishes that should be eaten while they are hot, and they will not taste good when they are cold.Stomach pain, cold, dysmenorrhea, just drink a cup of hot water?
Li Yuan sneered and said, "Everyone may have some misconceptions about the cold. Even if drinking hot water nourishes the stomach, it cannot prevent the occurrence of stomach cancer."

"The source of stomach problems is caused by damage to the gastric mucosa, but this kind of ice water that makes everyone feel that it is damaging the body does not cause any irritation to the gastric mucosa."

"On the contrary, hot water, especially hot water, is the most likely to cause cancer."

"Hot water above 65 degrees will greatly increase the risk of esophageal cancer and laryngeal cancer. Carcinogens of the same level include high-temperature fried food, inorganic lead compounds and ultraviolet rays."

"While ice water has no such effect."

Studio.

"But... this sentence has always been passed down like this!"

"No, isn't the custom in our country always to drink hot water? Even if it is a hot water bottle, we are the country that uses it the most."

"Yeah, my stomach hurts when I drink cold water, but there's never been hot water."

"I still don't believe it, anchor, are you sure cold water won't be bad for your health?"

Li Yuan shook his head.

"Since everyone says that drinking hot water is an inheritance, I would like to ask everyone, do you know where the habit of drinking hot water came from?"

Studio.

"This... I really don't know."

"do not know."

"Where did it come from?"

"Has it existed thousands of years ago? It seems that it was originally for disinfection."

Li Yuan nodded in agreement this time.

"That's right, it's for disinfection.

"Because in the old days, everyone ate, drank, and littered in the river. At that time, there was no clear distinction between water sources, so the river water would inevitably be polluted and produce germs."

"Cold water contains a lot of bacteria and microorganisms. After drinking directly, these bacteria and microorganisms will be brought into the body together."

"Afterwards, everyone gradually discovered a method, which is to throw hot stones into the water. In this way, most of the bacteria in the water can be eliminated."

"Then, the ancients began to get used to drinking boiled water, that is, sterilized water. After a long time, it naturally became a habit."

"This habit has nothing to do with cold water being bad for your health, it's just because...and boiled water, that is, the hot water that everyone is used to now, can play a certain role in disinfection, so it has been passed down to this day. "

Studio.

"So... I've been lied to all this time?"

"I actually thought cold water was bad for your health..."

"But after drinking it, I really feel uncomfortable."

"Didn't the anchor just say that it's because of your physique, just get used to it."

The impact of water on the body lies in whether it is hygienic or not, not in the level of temperature.

Like in ancient times, this kind of ice water and ice cubes that we can't avoid, you know, they are things that only emperors can enjoy.

Because in ancient times, there was no modern refrigeration equipment, so the ice cubes they used could only be stored in the ice cellar in winter, and these ice cubes would be taken out in the next summer.

And in fact, our tradition of drinking hot water is less than a hundred years old.

Before the 50s, even we used to drink ice water, and hot water... was something that was only used when making tea.

Li Yuan explained: "I saw that quite a few friends just said that drinking cold water would make them feel unwell. In fact, this is also normal."
