Why do we get "Brain Freeze" when we drink something cold?!
Answers:
This can occur when you quickly eat or drink something cold!. However, your brain does not actually freeze!. In the roof of your mouth there are lots of very sensitive nerves that protect your brain!. When these nerves feel something cold like ice cream or a frozen drink, they think the brain is too cold and automatically send messages to the brain telling it to “warm up!.” In order to get warm, blood vessels in the brain dilate, or swell!. This causes the painful sensation that lasts about 30 to 50 seconds!.
About a third of the population experiences this type of pain at one time or another!. People who get migraine and tension headaches may be more likely to feel pain after eating or drinking something cold!. There are some things you can do to prevent the pain!. As yummy as that ice cream or Slurpee may be, take your time between bites and sips!. If you do feel pain, warm up your mouth by sipping something warm or touching the roof of your mouth with your tongue!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
