Avoid cold drinks to prevent future health complications 避免冷饮将可减少未来的并发症

In TCM, the spleen is a major player of our digestive system. One of the properties of the spleen in TCM is that it needs to be kept warm, and it can be harmed by prolonged coldness. Taking cold food or drinks too often may cause immediate stomach discomfort or lingering digestive problems in the long run. Such effects are more prominent in innately yang deficient people, who often feel more comfortable taking warm food than cold food. Avoiding cold food or drinks is a quick and easy way to minimise unnecessary health complications.

中医所谈的脾和我们消化系统有很密切的关系。中医说脾脏喜温而恶寒。

常进冷饮食有可能会造成短暂的胃不舒感，或引起长期缠绵的消化系统病变。阳虚体质人士会对饮食的温度较敏感，而多喜温食而恶冷食。

避免生冷食物或饮料将可减少许多不必要的并发症。
