I felt hot in summer, drank a lot of ice water and then died suddenly. What is the reason?

It should be very hot in summer, so everyone likes to drink ice water and eat cold drinks to cool off a little. But although ice water can temporarily keep you out of the heat, it also brings a lot of harm. After summer exercise, some people will drink a lot of cold water at once because of the heat, which may actually lead to sudden death. We should know that people are warm-blooded animals, and even when they are not exercising, the stimulation of ice water on people is relatively large. Once people drink ice water after strenuous exercise, the stimulation of ice water on human body will only become greater.

Because after strenuous exercise, the human body produces a lot of heat, so it feels hot. Especially in summer, strenuous exercise brings more heat than other seasons. This is why people like to drink water after exercise.

However, just after strenuous exercise, the internal organs are still in an "excited" state. For example, the heart is beating violently and the capillaries are open ... so if you drink ice water at this time, it is equivalent to pouring a basin of ice water on these organs, causing the organs in the body to contract instantly because of cooling.

Under normal circumstances, people will be a little uncomfortable at this time. The common uncomfortable reactions are stomach cramps and stomach cramps. These symptoms are caused by the contraction of blood vessels in the stomach when they encounter ice water. In addition, more serious than this is the occurrence of syncope, or direct sudden death.

Therefore, even in hot summer, it is best not to drink ice water immediately after exercise, so as not to cause harm to the body. If you die suddenly because of a few mouthfuls of ice water, you will lose a little.
