What should I do if my hands and feet are cold in winter?

Most people with cold hands and feet in winter are caused by insufficient blood, and some may also be poor microcirculation of hands and feet. How to eat food to solve this problem? I can offer five suggestions for your reference.

1. For people with deficiency of both qi and blood, what nutrients can you eat to help your body make blood? Nutrients used for hematopoiesis mainly include protein, vitamin b6, folic acid, b 12, copper and iron. Without any of these hematopoietic materials, the blood function produced is incomplete, or defective, or it is impossible to produce blood at all. Therefore, the richer and more varied the food, the better. The more kinds, the better, not picky eaters.

2. The high food in protein mainly includes fish, beans, eggs and milk. The main component of red blood cells in blood is protein, which cannot be made without protein. However, many women rarely eat these foods, most of them like vegetarianism, and plant protein is relatively difficult to be digested and utilized by the body. Even if they know how to mix them, the utilization rate is not very high. So I advise those women who don't like fish, eggs and milk to learn to chew slowly! Eating these won't make you fat or affect your figure. On the contrary, eating more of these may make your figure better. Animal protein belongs to high-quality protein, and its digestibility and utilization rate are relatively high.

3. Eat more foods rich in vitamin B, mainly animal liver, wheat germ powder, yeast powder, brown rice and soybeans. As long as everyone has a look at these foods, many people are also very unpalatable. But these foods are rich in vitamin B family, and other foods certainly contain a small amount of vitamin B, but they are easily destroyed in the process of high-temperature cooking. Therefore, our people are generally short of vitamin B family. The above three vitamins B, b6, b 12 and folic acid are not only raw materials for hematopoiesis, but also essential nutrients to help protein digest and utilize fats and carbohydrates. Once lacking, it will not only produce blood, but also affect the digestion and utilization of energy substances. Therefore, the best way to avoid vitamin B deficiency is to supplement concentrated nutrients. There are also foods with high mineral content such as copper and iron, such as animal liver, red meat, eggs, nuts and beans. To sum up, basically all the raw materials needed for hematopoiesis are more in animal food.

4. For people with poor blood circulation in hands and feet, try to supplement foods containing lecithin and deep-sea fish oil, because both nutrients can promote blood circulation. Foods rich in lecithin include eggs, soybeans and pig brains. Foods containing more fish oil are mainly deep-sea fish, such as salmon, sardines and cod. At the same time, flaxseed oil, camellia oil and perilla seed oil containing omega-3 fatty acids can also promote blood circulation.

5. If conditions permit, if you want to do better, you can directly supplement some concentrated nutrients, which are more effective for restoring qi and blood, such as protein powder, multi-nutrient tablets, vitamin B group, lecithin, deep-sea salmon oil, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and other minerals.
