Hot weather risks from iced drinks
Dr. Victoria Stiepanova, a specialist in gastroenterology, discussed the risks of consuming cold beverages in hot weather. She explained that doing so causes vasospasm and reduces blood flow in the stomach, leading to pain and nausea, especially in stressed individuals or those exposed to sunlight. She also noted that drinking cold drinks directly from the freezer on an empty stomach increases the risk of spasm, particularly when body temperature is elevated, and may weaken local immunity, resulting in summer sore throats. She recommended drinking beverages at a temperature between 12 and 15 degrees Celsius and consuming small amounts of warm water before drinking cold drinks.
