What is the reason for the cold vest?

Every winter, some women, especially menopausal women, are particularly afraid of the cold, always feel cold hands and feet, and their backs are like carrying cold water bags. What's going on here? The following is the reason why the vest I carefully arranged for you is cold. Let's have a look.

Modern medical research believes that women are afraid of cold because of the high estrogen content in the body, and the heat in the body is easily converted into fat and stored under the skin. The metabolism of women is lower than that of men. Under the action of estrogen, the synthesis of heat is greater than the decomposition, so that less heat is released in the body. Secondly, women generally don't like activities, so they will generate less heat and exercise, which will often lead to poor blood circulation in the whole body or local areas, leading to chills throughout the body, especially in peripheral parts such as hands and feet. Third, due to menstrual period, pregnancy, puerperium or anemia, gastrointestinal diseases, chronic diseases and other reasons, women's physical resistance declines, which will also lead to fear of cold; Fourthly, iron deficiency and insufficient thyroxine secretion are another important reason why women are afraid of cold.

What if the vest is cold? Generally, I feel that the vest is cold because of the lack of yang. Some Chinese medicines can be used to improve this symptom. You can take Fuzi Lizhong Pill, Jinkui Shenqi Pill, or Huangqi Jianzhong Granule to warm and tonify the yang in the middle energizer. Don't eat too much fatty food, such as fat meat, barbecue, grilled fish, snack chips and so on. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as papaya, apples, apricots and peaches. You can also eat mutton, beef, venison, animal liver, and seafood such as eel, shrimp and sea cucumber.

Pay attention to foods that are too bitter and too cold, such as aloe, bitter gourd, ice cream, goose, beer and so on. You should eat more Chinese medicines with high melanin content and warm tonic, such as black rice and black beans. Proper exercise can delay aging, but the intensity should not be too great. We should choose exercise within our power to promote blood circulation and improve blood stasis and qi loss. Walking, jogging, brisk walking, or walking barefoot on pebbles will promote blood circulation and have an auxiliary treatment effect on kidney deficiency.

For women with low cold tolerance, the lack of iron in blood is often accompanied by the lack of iron in plasma and the decrease of thyroxine in plasma. Female menstrual period can lead to iron loss. According to the requirements of nutritionists, women should consume 28 mg of iron every day. But most women can't meet this requirement, so they are afraid of the cold. Do you have thyroid hormones? Heat? The effect can increase the basic metabolism of human body, accelerate the blood circulation of skin and increase body heat. When hypothyroidism occurs, that is, insufficient thyroid secretion and less heat production, people will be afraid of cold. So, if women are malnourished, have low blood pressure or suffer from this disease? Hypothyroidism? It can also cause poor local and systemic blood circulation, especially the peripheral circulation disorder of limbs, resulting in cold hands and feet.

The imbalance of sex hormones in menopausal women leads to the dysfunction of autonomic nervous system, which affects the functional activities of heart, blood vessels and gastrointestinal tract and makes people feel cold. In addition, improper dressing, irregular diet and quiet inactivity will also aggravate women's fear of cold in winter. Women who are afraid of cold in winter should actively participate in appropriate physical exercise. Professional women who sit at their desks for a long time should pay more attention to activities, improve their metabolism through muscle exercise and generate more heat to resist the cold. Women who are afraid of cold in winter should eat more iodine-rich foods, such as kelp, seaweed, fish and shrimp, oysters and so on. In addition to eating enough calories for three meals a day. Eat more foods rich in iron, such as animal liver, mutton, beef, dog meat, egg yolk, beans and vegetables.
