Risks of iced drinks in heat
Dr. Victoria Stepanova, a gastroenterologist, discussed the risks of consuming cold beverages in hot weather, explaining that they can cause vasospasms and slow down digestion, especially when body temperature rises after sun exposure. She pointed out that drinking very cold drinks doubles the risk of spasms and can weaken the immunity in the throat, leading to an increased incidence of summertime sore throats. Additionally, she recommended drinking beverages at temperatures between 12 and 15 degrees Celsius and sipping small amounts of room-temperature water before consuming cold drinks.
