Why are my hands and feet cold in winter?

Many people are particularly afraid of cold in winter. This is mainly because the natural temperature drops, the blood vessels of human body contract, and the blood reflux ability is weakened, which makes the blood circulation of hands and feet, especially fingertips, not smooth. 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. Coping: First of all, consider keeping warm, paying special attention to legs and feet. As the saying goes, "Cold starts from the feet". If the lower limbs are well kept warm, the whole body will feel warm. In addition, you can do some exercise properly to promote blood circulation. At the same time, you can also carry out some dietotherapy and eat more high-calorie foods, such as beef and mutton, peppers, onions, garlic and other foods. Some people who are prone to cold hands and feet are used to soaking their feet in hot water, massaging, taking a bath, etc. This is also an effective way to increase heat. However, patients with varicose veins and diabetes should be careful to soak their feet with hot water. In addition, the massage should be moderate, so as to feel comfortable or slightly painful. Excessive strength may damage muscles. Cold hands and feet generally do not need to go to the hospital for treatment, but if the situation is serious, it is best to find a doctor for treatment. If your hands and feet are cold, accompanied by limb pain, edema of lower limbs, dull skin, purplish red and brown, you must go to the hospital in time, because there are probably diseases such as vascular embolism of lower limbs. You can use appropriate amount of Astragalus membranaceus, Lycium barbarum and red dates, soak them in a thermos bottle, and then drink them as boiling water, which can dispel cold, enrich blood and beautify the face, and the effect is good!
