Recently, an improved version of the delicacy "Solid Poplar Branch Sweet Dew" has quietly become popular on social media platforms. Unlike traditional liquid drinks, this creative dessert mixes mango puree, grapefruit pulp, and coconut milk, solidifies into blocks with agar, and is paired with ingredients such as sago. It is loved by many young people for its innovative taste and shape. However, with the popularity of this delicacy, some netizens have reported experiencing discomfort symptoms such as yellowish complexion, diarrhea, and abdominal pain after consuming it. The ingredients such as mango, grapefruit, coconut milk, etc. in solid willow branches and sweet dew are considered to have a cold nature in traditional Chinese medicine theory. In addition, they need to be refrigerated for consumption, which further enhances their coldness and can easily stimulate the digestive system. ”On November 12th, Hu Kefeng, chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University, told the People's Daily Health Client reporter that people with different constitutions have different reactions to cold foods. Some people may experience symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal pain after consuming them. This is mainly because the high sugar content in solid desserts easily absorbs water from the intestines, forming a high osmotic pressure, which affects normal bowel movements and increases digestive burden. Zhou Tianmei, director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department at Zhejiang Provincial Tongde Hospital, also stated that excessive consumption of cold foods can damage spleen and stomach function, and sweet and greasy foods can easily produce dampness and phlegm. If combined with cold characteristics, it may lead to a "cold dampness" or "phlegm dampness" constitution, further affecting spleen and stomach health. The above experts remind that for this dessert, it is not recommended for people with spleen and stomach deficiency cold (manifested as cold hands and feet, and easy diarrhea) to consume it; Children and elderly people with weaker digestive function should also try to eat less. In addition, special attention should be paid to whether there is any allergy to raw materials such as mangoes. Even healthy adults should control their consumption frequency, and it is recommended not to exceed 1-2 times a week. The amount consumed each time should not be too much. Young women should pay attention to controlling the amount of this dessert when consuming it in their daily lives. If they are in special stages such as menstruation, pregnancy, and lactation, they should not consume it. ”Zhou Tianmei specifically reminds young women that "many women are accustomed to drinking cold drinks and eating ice products. Long term consumption of these foods not only damages the spleen and stomach, but may also lead to a cold constitution, resulting in reduced menstrual flow, delayed menstruation, or dysmenorrhea. Therefore, not only should they avoid eating during special periods, but they should also pay attention to daily life and try to eat less raw and cold foods." Hu Kefeng suggests that drinking warm drinks such as ginger soup, brown sugar ginger tea, or barley tea after consuming solid willow branches and sweet dew can neutralize the cold characteristics of food. When mild stomach discomfort or diarrhea occurs, the intake of cold foods should be temporarily suspended, and the dietary structure should be adjusted to eat more warm and easily digestible foods, giving the gastrointestinal tract sufficient time to recover.
