It's so cold, how can I warm myself up?

Being afraid of the cold in winter summarizes four tricks for you to help you resist the cold:

Diet:

Cold food such as beer, ice cream, raw vegetables and fruits will make your body cold. Be careful not to eat too much and try to avoid eating at night. Hot food can keep the body warm. Meat: beef, chicken, mutton; Seafood: sardines, mackerel; Vegetables: carrots, onions, green onions, pumpkins. Generally, seasonal vegetables are hot in winter. Fruits: chestnuts, walnuts, apples and dates; Seasoning: mustard, cooking wine, vinegar, brown sugar, turmeric, onion and garlic, cinnamon and mint. Develop good eating habits, quit smoking and drinking.

2. Appropriate exercise:

Exercise can promote the growth of thermogenic muscles, improve hormone secretion and promote metabolism. In addition, exercise helps to transport heat to all parts of the body. Experts suggest that it is more effective to insist on taking a stop on the way to work instead of patronizing the health room.

Three clothes:

The basic principle of dressing is "thin on the top and thick on the bottom". Because there are many large blood vessels around the waist, if the lower body can keep warm, the upper body will not feel too cold. Tights and tights should be avoided to avoid obstructing blood circulation. In addition, you can also use the coat that is convenient to put on and take off to increase or decrease clothes in time to make your body feel comfortable.

Four kinds of traditional Chinese medicine conditioning:

Huiren Shenbao has a good conditioning effect on fear of cold in winter.

I used to be very afraid of winter. It's freezing in winter, and it's cold no matter how I cover it. I am envious to see that many people wear little hot air in winter. Later, after being recommended by a friend, I realized that aphrodisiac is the key to fundamentally improve my physique. From then on, on the one hand, I insisted on exercising, on the other hand, I bought Huiren Shenbao for conditioning, taking it three times a day, practicing both inside and outside, taking food supplements and medicine supplements for physical exercise, and finally conditioning my body. 1) The trick is that hands and feet are no longer cold in winter.

Four reasons for cold hands and feet

First of all, circulatory system diseases

1, weak heart, unable to supply blood to peripheral parts of the body.

2. Anemia: insufficient circulating blood volume or low hemoglobin and red blood cells.

3. The ability of vasoconstriction and blood return of human body will be weakened, which will make the blood circulation of hands and feet, especially fingertips, not smooth, which is often called "poor peripheral circulation".

Second, yang deficiency

Chinese medicine believes that cold hands and feet is a kind of "closed disease", and the so-called "closed" is unreasonable. Affected by cold weather or body cold, the liver pulse is cold, and the hematopoietic function of the liver is affected, resulting in kidney yang deficiency, cold limbs, red or white hands and feet, and even a feeling of pain.

Third, hormonal changes caused by menstruation and childbirth.

Women account for the vast majority of people with cold hands and feet. This is because hormone changes affect the nervous system, leading to contraction of subcutaneous blood vessels and reduction of blood flow, thus causing chills.

Fourth, the disease factors.

Raynaud's disease, Raynaud's syndrome's disease and Takayasu's arteritis mostly occur in young women. Thromboangiitis obliterans mostly occurs in middle-aged men.

In addition, people with excessive mental stress, excessive psychological sensitivity, excessive anxiety and frequent anxiety are also high-risk groups with cold hands and feet.

The harm of cold hands and feet

Cold hands and feet can lead to less menstrual flow, irregular menstruation and even infertility; Women are more likely to have cold hands and feet due to physical weakness during special physiological periods such as menstruation, pregnancy and childbirth. If it is not prevented in time, it will lead to poor spirit and chills. Cold hands and feet for a long time in winter may also lead to frostbite. In addition, it is also related to diseases such as rheumatism and stomach diseases.

(2) Seven measures to prevent cold hands and feet

If it is caused by a disease, it is natural to treat the disease first. For cold hands and feet caused by non-disease reasons, we should start from all aspects of daily life and quickly start exercise, diet, medicated diet, bathing and massage ... Naturally, our limbs will be warm and our faces will be rosy.

1, keep warm.

Beautiful "frozen" people are not allowed. Pay special attention to keep your legs and feet warm. If the lower limbs are well kept warm, the whole body will feel warm. Don't wear too tight clothes, because too tight clothes will hinder blood circulation. Remember to soak your feet before going to bed at night. It is easier to fall asleep when your feet are hot.

Step 2 exercise

Getting up early in the morning to do exercise can speed up blood circulation and metabolism, and you will be full of energy all day and not be prone to chills. Simple climbing stairs and jumping in place are helpful to strengthen the ability of thermoregulation.

Step 3 prescribe diet

Supplement more vitamin e; Eating more foods containing nicotinic acid and B vitamins can dilate peripheral blood vessels; Eat more isothermal foods such as nuts and carrots, and avoid eating cold food, ice products or drinking cold drinks; Eating spicy food such as pepper and mustard can promote blood circulation.

Step 4 eat Chinese medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine has fixed prescriptions for cold hands and feet, such as Shiquan Dabu Decoction, Bazhen Decoction, Siwu Decoction and Lizhong Decoction. These traditional Chinese medicines are usually more suitable for people with deficiency-cold constitution. But it's better to ask Chinese medicine practitioners to prescribe medicine.

Step 5 eat on time

Don't be partial to food and lose weight excessively. Let your body store some fat in moderation, which can help maintain body temperature. If you know in advance that you are busy with work today and can't eat on time, you can prepare some biscuits, bread or ginseng tea to replenish calories in time.

Step 6 take a bath

Add ginger or chamomile, cinnamon, rosemary and other essential oils, pepper bath agent, etc. Hot water can promote blood circulation and warm the body.

Recently, the Tai Chi Tibetan Medicine Dragon Bath launched by Assen Wooden Bucket was carried out by Tibetan Medicine Wooden Bucket Bath, Tibetan Medicine Soaking Long Mai Strip, Back Meridian Dragon Bath, Aromatic Essential Oil Meridian Detoxification, Ear Candle Brain Decompression, etc. Surgery for two and a half hours can strengthen yang, dispel diseases and prolong life.

7, massage Yangchi point can warm up.

The name yangchi means to accumulate the heat of the sun. Yangchi point is located on the wrist of the back of the hand, just at the gathering place of bones between the back of the hand. The way to find it is to tilt the back of your hand upward first, and several wrinkles will appear on your wrist. When you press the wrinkles near the back of your hand, you will find a tender point in the center, which is Yangchi point. Yangchi point is an important point that dominates the whole body blood circulation and hormone secretion. As long as you stimulate this acupoint, you can quickly smooth blood circulation and regulate your body.

Stimulating Yang Chi Point should be done slowly, long and slowly. It is best to use both hands. Press the Yangchi point of one hand with the middle finger of the other hand first, and then press the Yangchi point of this hand with the middle finger of the other hand. This posture can naturally transfer strength from the middle finger to Yangchi point without the help of others. Women with cold hands and feet generally don't have to worry about the coming of winter as long as they insist on stimulating Yangchi point.

In addition, rubbing Yongquan point, Laogong point, Qichong point and tapping Shenshu point all have certain effects.

(3) What should a little woman who is afraid of cold eat?

In the cold winter, in addition to strengthening physical exercise and wearing more clothes, if you can eat more cold food every day, you can improve your cold resistance. Common cold foods in life are:

Meat: dog meat, mutton, beef and venison have better cold-proof effect. They are rich in protein, carbohydrates and fat, and have the effects of tonifying kidney, strengthening yang, warming middle warmer, benefiting qi, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

Eating these meats can accelerate the metabolism of yang deficiency constitution and enhance endocrine function, thus achieving the effect of keeping out the cold.

Rhizome: Medical researchers have found that people's fear of cold is related to the lack of inorganic salts in the body. Lotus root, carrot, lily, sweet potato, green vegetables and Chinese cabbage are all rich in inorganic salts, so these foods may as well be eaten with other foods.

Spicy food: Chili contains capsaicin, ginger contains aromatic volatile oil, and Chili contains piperine. Eating these spicy foods can dispel wind and cold, promote blood circulation and raise body temperature.

Iodine-containing foods: kelp, seaweed, sea salt, Nostoc flagelliforme, jellyfish, clams, Chinese cabbage, spinach, corn and other iodine-containing foods can promote the secretion of thyroid hormones.

Thyroid hormone has thermogenic effect, which can accelerate the oxidation process of most tissues and cells in the body (except brain, gland and uterus), increase thermogenesis, increase basal metabolic rate, strengthen skin blood circulation and resist cold.

Foods with high iron content: Researchers at Pennsylvania State University found that people are also afraid of cold because of iron deficiency in their blood.

Anemic women's body temperature is 0.7℃ lower than that of women with normal hemoglobin, and their heat production is less 13%. When iron intake increases, their cold tolerance is obviously enhanced. Therefore, women who are afraid of cold can consciously increase the intake of foods with high iron content, such as animal liver, lean meat, spinach, egg yolk and so on.
