Drinking cold water in hot weather can lead to muscle contractions and digestive problems. This was mentioned by Doctor Angel Angel in an interview with Vanitatis.
"Drinking cold water can lead to muscle contractions. The sharp change in temperatures undermines the work of the muscles and causes painful contractions, "explained the specialist.
The doctor also noted that in hot weather, the stomach works in "enhanced" mode, and cold fluid creates a greater burden on it. Its impact can not only cause the abdominal pain, but also cause constipation or diarrhea.
The doctor called the so-called "thermal shock" the most horrific consequence of drinking cold water. The fact is that the cold causes a sharp shrinkage of blood vessels, including the capillaries of skin capillaries, which actually prevents the body to cool naturally. As a result, the feeling of false short coolness arises, but the internal body temperature does not decrease.
According to doctor, in some cases, the thermal shock can cause a heart attack. Before swallowing cold water, he advises to keep it in your mouth to warm it down slightly and "shocked" the body.
