A member asked:
Is it advisable for a person to have a really cold beverage if they are overheated from exercise or other physical exertion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: When you are already overheated and then drink really cold beverage you will shut your stomach down and it might cause stomach cramps. I know you're not a horse, but if someone did that to a horse after it was racing, it would die. In chinese medicine, its not advised to drink iced drinks ever, because it damages your kidney energy.
