When the weather is cold, my hands and feet get cold. What should I do if I am afraid of cold?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "yang deficiency leads to external cold", that is to say, the human body's yang is weak, qi and blood are insufficient, and the yang is not solid. If you can't warm your muscles to resist the invasion of external cold pathogens, it is particularly easy to make people afraid of cold. The so-called yang deficiency constitution is mainly related to the following factors: 1. Iron deficiency Iron is an important raw material for human body to produce hemoglobin, which is responsible for transporting oxygen. The oxygen supply in peripheral tissues of patients with iron deficiency is reduced, which leads to the disorder of tissue energy metabolism, and the body feels extremely cold due to insufficient heat production. 2. Low blood pressure. Low blood pressure will cause poor peripheral blood circulation, and the body will not get enough oxygen and energy, so people will easily be afraid of cold. 3. Hypothyroidism. American nutritionist Baird and others made an experiment, in which 120 middle-aged women wearing swimsuits took part in swimming and then tested their cold tolerance. The results showed that the content of thyroxine in the blood of the cold-fearing group was lower 1 fold than that of the non-cold-fearing group. Thyroxine can accelerate metabolism and release energy, and also accelerate blood circulation of skin, thus increasing body heat to resist cold. If the body is short of iodine for a long time and the thyroid gland secretion is insufficient, the body will be afraid of cold because of insufficient heat production and reduced cold resistance. 4. The incidence of chills in women is significantly higher than that in men. This is because women have fewer muscles that produce heat than men, and menstruation easily leads to iron loss. In addition, menopausal women are also closely related to the decline of estrogen levels. Because estrogen will affect the stability of neurovascular function, patients will be afraid of cold in their hands, feet or whole body because of poor blood circulation. How to change the constitution of yang deficiency and eliminate the feeling of being afraid of cold? The most important thing is diet conditioning and cold-resistant exercise. The purpose of eating is to get calories, so we should take every meal seriously, especially breakfast. Eat more iron-rich foods such as lean meat, fish, beans, celery, mushrooms, jujube and black fungus. Eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C to promote the absorption of iron. Also pay attention to the intake of iodine-rich kelp, fish and shrimp, jellyfish, oysters, etc., to promote the synthesis of thyroxine in the body. Eating mutton, dog meat and other foods with the function of warming kidney and strengthening yang in cold weather is also very helpful to improve the ability to keep out the cold. Proper exercise can not only strengthen the muscles that produce heat, improve hormone secretion and promote metabolism, but also help to transport heat to all parts of the body. Exercise and fitness should be based on everyone's age, physical fitness and environmental conditions, and choose the sports that suit them. In addition, washing your face, nose and body with cold water every morning can also enhance your body's ability to resist the cold. Cold-resistant exercise, preferably from summer, should be gradual and persistent. To resist the cold, we should also pay attention to changing clothes in time, especially to keep the head, abdomen and feet warm. The basic principle of dress is: "The upper part is slightly thinner and the lower part is slightly thicker, and the clothes, shoes and socks should be loose and warm." Tight underwear should be avoided to avoid interfering with blood circulation.
