Many people, in order to save time, often don't have time to heat their food for breakfast. Eating cold breakfast regularly can cause certain harm to the body.
This is because the human body always prefers a warm environment. When the body is warm, microcirculation is normal, and the transportation of oxygen, nutrients, and waste is smooth. In the early morning, the muscles, nerves, and blood vessels are still in a state of contraction. If you then
eat cold food, it will inevitably cause all systems in the body to constrict more and lead to poor blood circulation. The harm may not be apparent in the short term, but over time, the digestive and absorption functions of the gastrointestinal tract will be affected. A cold breakfast can also affect the body's absorption of nutrients from food, leading to symptoms such as bloating, loose stools, worsening skin, and frequent colds, which weakens a person's resistance.
Therefore, it is best to eat some hot, soft food in the morning. As the ancients said, "Eating congee in the morning promotes the removal of old and the generation of new, benefits the diaphragm and nourishes the stomach, produces body fluids, and keeps one refreshed for the whole day." However, breakfast should also pay attention to combining solid and liquid foods. This not only helps to dilute and mix the chewed food and prevent hard food from irritating the digestive tract mucosa, but it is also easy to digest and absorb.
