The biologist told about the harm of cold food for digestion

The absence of hot food in the diet can lead to serious consequences for the digestive system. Acting Dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the State University of Education, biologist Irina Lyalina told about this on Friday, April 17.

The specialist noted that the lack of hot food slows down peristalsis, which can cause constipation. In addition, such a diet disrupts the production of digestive enzymes, that is, food is digested worse, which leads to irritation of the gastric mucosa, eventually to the development of gastritis, and in more serious cases to peptic ulcer disease.

According to Lilina, the lack of hot food in the diet can lead to bile thickening, which increases the risk of gallstones and gallbladder inflammation. It can also lead to pancreatitis.

"The body spends significantly more energy on digesting cold food, that is, warming it, which can disrupt the overall metabolism and lead to problems with the absorption of nutrients," she said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .
