Live – It seems refreshing to consume cold drinks, such as fruit ice, iced tea, ice syrup, or other cold drinks when breaking the fast. It seems tempting and makes the body feel fresh again after more than 12 hours, the body is not getting enough fluid intake.
But in reality, drinking ice or cold water right away when breaking the fast can cause various health problems for some people. One of them in the head area that can cause migraines.
“Drinking ice can trigger headaches in certain people, whether it’s COVID-19 or not. Drinking in cold water will stimulate nerves and blood vessel contraction. Then there is a mirgain-shaped condition of the brain,” said the internal medicine specialist, Dr. dr. Irsan Hasan, SpPD-KGEH, at the event Healthy lifestyle at tvOne, Tuesday March 28, 2020.
Also, the stomach remains empty after fasting for hours. If you immediately drink cold drinks, your stomach may very well feel bloated.
“Drinking cold causes the stomach to contract. So foods that should decrease, carbohydrate foods produce gas, actually store for a long time in the stomach and slow it down,” he said.
Still, he ruled out that the cold water consumed may trigger a cough, especially in patients with COVID-19. Because, there is no scientific research related to both. Only under certain conditions that worsen cough after consuming cold water.
“It is not true that the cough is getting worse from drinking candy or ice. Some people are allergic to a cold and can cause a cough,” he added.
