When the weather is cold, some people have cold hands and feet. What is the reason?

Cold hands and feet caused by "hiding Yang" Many people have cold hands and feet in winter. Some people think that this is the so-called "virtual" performance, emphasizing exercise and nourishing. Therefore, many people with cold hands and feet blindly get up early to exercise and eat supplements. In fact, this does not conform to the principle of winter health preservation of traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine believes that winter is the season when the sun is god, which is called "when the sun is down, it is winter". Hands and feet, relative to the trunk, are the two ends of the human body, which is called "four ends" in Chinese medicine. In winter, "the sun is the spirit, and it has not reached the end of the four seasons", so it is easy to get cold hands and feet.

When the weather is cold, some people will feel cold hands and feet, while the sun's spirit has a warming effect. If the yang in the body is insufficient, the body will feel cold, and both ends of the hands and feet will be unlucky, until the yang is not easily transported to the hands and feet, basically there will be little left. Natural gas is not free. Some people are hot and cold, which is different from the previous situation. This kind of people are generally due to poor qi and blood circulation, which leads to yang stagnation in the body and can not reach their hands and feet. So only the hands and feet are cold, and the trunk part is not afraid of cold, and may even be afraid of heat.

Always wear tight clothes, especially easy to get cold hands and feet. Clothes and trousers are tightly tied to the body, which will lead to poor blood circulation in hands and feet. It is strange that there is not enough heat when the hands are not cold. Chinese medicine says, "Static is yin, while dynamic is yang." Exercise produces 3-5 times as much heat as rest. People who don't exercise will also slow down their blood circulation. Girls who are losing weight are also particularly prone to cold hands and feet, because eating too little can't keep up with their physical fitness, which will make the human body lack of blood and lead to chills in the limbs.

Some people only eat vegetables to lose weight, even control the intake of staple food, and only use fruits and vegetables instead, resulting in insufficient calories and stronger cold resistance. Bad living habits Some bad habits that you don't usually pay attention to, such as eating cold drinks, not wearing long pants in cold weather, and exposing your ankles in cold weather, are easy to make your hands and feet cold and punch holes.
