Is it possible to eat ice cream if the throat hurts
With pain in the throat is an absolutely every person. And we all know since childhood that in this case it is better to brew hot tea with Malina, wrap in a plaid and forget about cold drinks. But in some countries, people begin to eat ice cream! Is it so possible?
The cause of colds are viruses and bacteria, but in the symptoms that we experience are mainly "to blame" our immune system. On our whole body, the patrol is constantly walking - macrophages. These are the cells of the immune system, which are in search of viruses and bacteria. As soon as they detect pathogens, they release the signal molecules to begin fighting.
Two such signal molecules are Bradykinin and Prostaglandin E2, which stimulate the nerve endings in our throat. This causes pain.
Ron Eklz, the former director of the Center for Wrestlers in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Cardiff, notes that in this case, cold food, for example, fruit years, can have a specific inhibitory effect on sensitive nerves in the throat. Reducing the temperature of the nerve endings themselves in the throat, the pain signal decreases. Also, this method activates the receptor, called the transient receptor potential of melastine-8, which leads to the relief of pain. From this it is worth it that the cold products themselves do not affect the deterioration of the disease, because they do not carry viruses, and the pain in the throat is not connected with your illness, but with the work of immunity.
However, hot drinks provide the best effect. First, liquids are useful in sore throat as they contribute to salivation and help soften the throat. Secondly, the high temperature causes more saliva, and our sensory heat perception carries a soothing effect.
