Why is my body hotter than ordinary people in summer and colder than ordinary people in winter?

Healthy people's hands and feet (especially their stomachs) are warm in winter and cool in summer;

Poor constitution, its hands and feet (especially its belly) are frozen in winter and hot in summer.

Why? It is caused by yin deficiency and internal heat. It's cold outside and cold inside in winter, so I feel frozen stiff; In summer, it's hot outside and hot inside, so it feels hot.

There is a way to check the internal heat due to yin deficiency: stick your palm on your face. If it is consciously cold, there is no internal heat. If it is Jue Wen's disease, there is internal heat.

It is common for some people to feel cold in their hands and feet. This is mainly because the natural temperature drops, the yang is insufficient, the human body itself is also insufficient, and the body appears yang deficiency. In addition, due to the cold weather, the ability of vasoconstriction and blood return will be weakened, which will make the blood circulation of hands and feet, especially fingertips, not smooth, which is often called "poor circulation of nerve endings", resulting in the feeling of cold hands and feet. This situation generally happens to women, especially women over middle age. Mental workers are more likely to have cold hands and feet than manual workers, but they are rare among healthy young men.

Soaking feet with hot water at ordinary times can not only keep warm, but also relieve tired nerves.

Modern medical research believes that the foot is the "second heart" of the human body, and there are many nerve endings in the foot that are closely connected with the brain, participating in and regulating the activities of the brain. From the anatomical point of view, people's feet are far from the heart and have less blood supply. At the same time, the subcutaneous fat layer of the foot is thin and the thermal insulation performance is poor. Therefore, generally speaking, the skin temperature of the feet is low, and the adaptability and tolerance to cold stimulation are poor. If you don't pay attention to the warmth of your feet, cold pathogens can easily invade the human body through your feet, damage the yang, cause diseases, or make old diseases recur, and the condition will worsen or even worsen.

Studies have shown that people feel most comfortable when the surface temperature of feet is kept at 28℃-30℃. So when the temperature drops, we should take some effective measures to keep our feet at the best temperature. For example, choose thick socks with good warmth and softness and wear velvet-lined cotton shoes; When indoors, wear cotton slippers that can wrap your feet; When you are active in cold environment, you should also pay attention to keep your feet warm, such as standing still or swinging, and moving your toes 10 minutes. Strengthen physical exercise and insist on washing feet with hot water to prevent foot diseases and premature aging of legs and feet. Attention should be paid to the foot care of diabetic patients: diabetic foot is one of the most terrible and serious complications of diabetes, and it is called "diabetic foot". Diabetic foot disease is caused by the complex interaction of peripheral neuropathy, microangiopathy, macroangiopathy, bad hygiene habits and many other factors. Once the disease occurs, it will face amputation and other consequences, and may even be life-threatening. Therefore, diabetic patients should wear loose cotton shoes, change socks frequently, keep their feet clean and dry, and soak their feet with hot water of about 45 degrees Celsius 15 minutes every night, which is helpful to keep warm and improve local blood circulation. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent falling, actively treat beriberi, avoid tearing feet and wiping toes to relieve itching, and prevent skin injury from causing purulent bacterial infection.

Maybe the reasons for cold hands are similar. In short, just protect them with your heart!
