      An interesting question! In the evolution of humans, refrigerators are a very recent development, so our bodies aren’t totally evolved to handle cold foods. According to traditional Chinese medicine, cold and damp foods may damage the spleen (an organ involved in immunity) and excessive eating of cold foods may have an impact on our health, such as tiredness, weight gain, and bloating. However, it’s all about getting a good balance!
