Many people, in order to save time, often don't have time to heat their food when eating breakfast. Medical researchers remind that eating cold breakfasts 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, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels are still in a constricted state. If you eat cold food at this time, it will definitely cause the blood vessels in various systems in the body to constrict even more and hinder blood flow. 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 will also affect the body's absorption of nutrients in food, leading to symptoms such as bloating, loose stools, worsening skin, and frequent colds, which can lower a person's resistance.
Therefore, it is best to eat some hot porridge in the morning. As the ancients said, "Eating congee in the morning promotes renewal, benefits the diaphragm and nourishes the stomach, generates body fluids, and keeps one refreshed all day." However, breakfast should also pay attention to a balance of solid and liquid foods. This not only helps to dilute and mix the chewed food and prevent dry, hard food from irritating the digestive tract mucosa, but is also easy to digest and absorb.
