Cold hands and feet in winter. What happened?

I don't know if you have noticed that with the sudden cooling, especially girls, their hands and feet become cold, and sometimes they can't cover themselves even if they wear too many clothes or sleep under the covers at night. Some people are usually fine, their hands and feet are cold at night, and they can't sleep without holding a warm water bag.

In fact, there are many reasons for cold hands and feet. Let's start with the reason.

As we all know, lukewarm limbs are a manifestation of yang deficiency, but are lukewarm limbs all yang deficiency? Actually, it's not. Some cases are not what we call yang deficiency. For example, a girl with a thin figure has relatively poor peripheral blood circulation, easily disordered thermoregulation mechanism, relatively little body fat, and easy loss of heat, resulting in cold hands and feet.

Or people with hypoglycemia or hypotension will also have cold hands and feet. So, don't be too hungry, too tired, too weak, which will easily lead to lower blood pressure and cold hands and feet. There are also some vascular diseases that can cause cold limbs. The difference is that cold hands and feet caused by yang deficiency are cold hands and feet or cold at the same time; Vascular diseases are mostly cold in one limb, accompanied by symptoms such as numbness and pain. Therefore, we should distinguish the reasons, and say it is yang deficiency if we can't see the symptoms of cold hands and feet.

If the hands and feet are cold caused by insufficient yang in the body, it will be accompanied by colds, hot drinks and thin stools. Not all the above symptoms will appear together. Most of them have a symptom first. If you don't care, it will get worse and the corresponding symptoms will be more. At first, this often reminds us that there is something wrong with our bodies, that there is imbalance between yin and yang in our bodies, rather than saying that we have any diseases. At this time, it is too late to make corresponding adjustments. But with the passage of time, it can gradually develop into a state of chronic fatigue, and it will inevitably be discovered by the disease over time.

Nowadays, people who lack yang are mostly caused by acquired bad living habits, such as liking cold drinks and wearing less clothes in pursuit of beauty in cold weather, which leads to foreign evils invading the body and hurting yang. Huangdi Neijing says:? The head is the meeting of Zhu Yang, and the limbs are the end of Zhu Yang. ? What do you mean? In other words, the head is the place with the strongest yang, and the limbs are the place with the weakest yang. Because of the spirit of the sun, it is not easy to reach the limbs. If you don't pay attention to your living habits, you will hurt your yang and your limbs will not be warm. At the same time, the yang is insufficient, and there is not enough motivation to promote blood circulation, which is prone to stagnation. Over time, there will be other problems.

If the yang is insufficient, you can bask in the sun more every day, especially on our back, where the Dazhui point is mainly yang. In addition, more exercise, kinetic energy produces yang; Finally, you can eat more isothermal foods such as beef and mutton, pepper, onion, ginger and garlic in your daily diet.
