Eating Food

1.Why Do We Feel a Sudden Pain in Our Head When We Try Gobbling Ice Cream?

  • When we eat cold food items like ice cream in a hurry, the temperature inside our throat changes rapidly.
  • Due to this sudden temperature change, the blood vessels constrict, which is felt like a pain in our head.

2.Do Some Food Digest Faster Than Others. Why So?

  • The time required to digest food depends on its constituents.
  • Food that comprises carbohydrates like bread, biscuit, and cookies get digested quickly.
  • Food that includes proteins like pulses, meat, and chicken takes longer to get digested.

3.What Are Opposite Foods? Why Should We Avoid Such Combinations?

  • Our meal is a mixture of different food items. But some combinations of foods are not suitable for our health.
  • The food combinations that cannot be digested easily together and may lead to digestive problems are called opposite foods.

Examples are as follows—

    • Honey and Ghee
    • Cheese and potatoes
    • Lemon juice and milk
    • Melons and milk
