Have you ever consumed a nice cold fruit smoothie on a hot day and thought to yourself “man.. I feel good!”? You are not alone.
Many drinkers of these delicious yet healthy beverages report the same sensation. People report the following effects when a study on fruit smoothies was conducted in 2022.
The cool liquid helps regulate your hot body temperature, giving the body a sense of relief. The natural sugars reward the body and release dopamine in the brain, instantly improving your mood. They act like a milkshake does, but unlike shakes they are actually nothing but healthy for you.
Vibrant colors, creamy textures and cold temperatures on hot days stimulates the taste buds as well as the skin lining in your mouth. Some folks say there is nothing better than a nice cold smoothie after a day at the beach.
Cold smoothies, especially those with natural sugars (from fruits) or caffeine (e.g., in green tea or coffee-based smoothies), provide a quick energy boost that will help sustain you until your next meal. These are the same effects touted by some candy bar companies, but yet again a smoothie is nothing but good for you.
Drinking a smoothie loaded with strawberries, blueberries, greens or any of your other favorite foods can tap into that part of your brain where positive memoires are stored. This in turn sparks nostalgia, a positive feeling which bridges the past to the present.
The act of sipping on your smoothie can take your mind off any troubles you may be experiencing. Enjoy your smoothie over a 20- or 30-minute period for its full calming effects. The cold temperature may also have a mild soothing effect on the nervous system.
