Hot and Cold Foods Together: Nowadays there has been a lot of change in the trend of eating and drinking. People are trying new food combinations, but do you know what effect eating hot and cold things together can have on teeth and health? Eating hot and cold foods together can cause many problems in the body. In such a situation, let us know the whole truth from Dr. Rohit Ojha (BDS, Certified Implantologist and Certified Facial Aesthetician, Crown Multispecialty Dental Clinic Dwarka)-
Does eating hot and cold together harm your teeth?
- Dr. Rohit Ojha said that the body works at a certain temperature. When we suddenly eat something hot or cold, the body has to work extra hard to keep its temperature stable. This puts an extra burden on the digestive system. Mixing hot and cold things can cause an imbalance in the digestive system. It can cause problems like indigestion, gas, and acidity.
- The body needs more energy to digest these things. This makes you feel tired and can reduce productivity. Eating hot and cold things together damages the enamel of the teeth.
- The uppermost layer of the teeth is called enamel. It provides strength to the teeth and protects them from damage. When we eat hot and cold things simultaneously, there is a sudden change in the temperature of the teeth. This change can cause cracks in the enamel. Enamel is the strongest layer of our teeth, but it can become weak due to constant temperature changes.
What to do to avoid eating hot and cold food together?
- Keep a little gap between eating hot and cold things.
- If you drink cold drinks, use a straw.
- Brush and floss your teeth regularly to prevent plaque and tartar from building up on your teeth.
- Visit a dentist once every six months. They will examine your teeth and give you advice.
