Mitos : Minum Minuman Sejuk Semasa Cuaca Sejuk Menyebabkan Selesma

Assalamualaikum,
Greeting ;)

I have this habit of drinking iced drinks as well as indulging myself with cone of ice cream during cold weather or on rainy days. I feel like it does highlighted the fact that ice is cold. Hehe. And I don't believe that action may lead to flu or sore throat.

And I also believe that  drinking hot water when you have sore throat is ridiculous. For me, drinking slightly cold drink will give some comfort to my sore throat.

Well. I was partly right and partly wrong.

As for indulging yourself with cold drinks or ice cream during cold weather will lead to sore throat or flu is not entirely correct since there is no scientific evidence that cold can cause flu or sore throat. All doctors over the world agree that flu or sore throat is caused by germ, virus or bacteria.

However, cold weather may actually lower our defense mechanism and decrease our immune system and exposure during the period to the culprit such as germ, bacteria or virus will  be increase the possibilities catching flu and sore throat. Still, it is not definite.

My second believe is NOT totally rejected. Hehe. Scientific findings conclude that the best way to reduce the discomfort of sore throat is by drinking lot of warm water. BUT.. there is a BIG BUt... Other suggestion specifically states that gargling warm salt water, drinking cold drinks or eating popsicle can be the remidies for sore throat. In fact, there are surgical procedures like tonsil-removal that recommends eating ice-cream only. Hurrayyy!! Heheheh..

So, I guess my believes does make sense, no? I'm not trying to convince anybody here but myself and this entry is not intended to influence anyone in any ways. Ok.


Lalalalala~~~
