Can damage your spleen
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen, an abdominal organ vital for our immune system, can be damaged by excess consumption of cold food. Our bodies can’t absorb nutrients adequately, unbalancing our bodies and causing other maladies.
For the Chinese, our bodies didn’t evolve to eat cold foods and can have more than one harmful effect.
Cold food is not that bad, though
Most of us seldom enjoy cold foods, and a frozen treat once in a while will probably cause no damage to your body. Eating junk food and skipping meals is far worse or eating too many carbs and simple sugars. Cold food is the least of your worries, but at least now you know. Everything in excess can be harmful.
