What is the reason why women's hands and feet are cold?

Now the weather is getting colder every day, and everyone's clothes are getting thicker and thicker. But for some people, it seems that wearing too many clothes still makes their hands and feet cold. I don't know why, but many people usually don't care much. They don't think there is any big problem. In fact, their hands and feet are cold and need conditioning. What is the reason why that woman's hands and feet are cold? How to adjust a woman's cold hands and feet?

1, the reason why women's hands and feet are cold

First, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine to see the reasons why women's hands and feet are cold

1, yang deficiency

This situation is more common in women with poor physique. One's own qi and blood are insufficient, and one's body is full of yin. The so-called "yin cold", while yang deficiency is cold inside, and hands and feet are naturally prone to chills. Coupled with the lack of qi and blood, nutrition and heat can not reach the end of the body to nourish the limbs, so the hands and feet are cold all year round.

2. Deficiency of qi and blood

"Qi and blood" as mentioned in TCM is the running carrier of all substances in human body. Sufficient qi and blood, smooth operation, is very important to the human body. However, due to menstruation, pregnancy and other reasons, women are prone to lack of blood, or many girls go on a diet to lose weight, which will cause malnutrition and lead to insufficient blood.

3. Exogenous cold pathogen

Many young girls don't pay attention to keep warm, refuse to wear coats in winter, or insist on wearing short skirts and shorts, which is wrong. In addition, eating cold food in summer, getting wet in the rain and wading in the water will all lead to the invasion of cold evil. If you catch a cold, the meridians in your body will be frozen like a river in winter. The meridians are blocked, and qi and blood are blocked, so you will naturally get sick.

4. Stagnation of liver qi

We should all have had this experience in our daily life: when we are nervous, uneasy or depressed, our hands and feet will be cold, sweaty, even pale and our lips will be pale. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, long-term depression or excessive pressure will lead to liver qi being suppressed in the body and qi not reaching outside, so there will be chest tightness, abdominal distension, pain in both ribs, cold hands and feet and other symptoms.

Second, from the disease to see the reasons for women's cold hands and feet

1, thyroid hormone secretion is insufficient.

When the secretion of thyroid hormone in the body is insufficient, the blood circulation in the skin and other parts slows down, which leads to insufficient heat production and is more sensitive to cold reaction.

2. Vascular diseases

Some vascular diseases, such as Raynaud's disease and Takayasu's arteritis, which are common in young women, and thromboangiitis obliterans, which are common in middle-aged men, will affect the blood supply in the peripheral parts of the human body.

3, or heart function decline.

Cold hands and feet have a lot to do with heart function, because blood is sent by the heart, bringing oxygen to all parts of the body. When sugar is oxidized, it can generate heat energy and warm hands and feet. Once the heart function declines, it will affect the delivery of blood, causing cold hands and feet. For example, heart weakness can lead to a significant reduction in blood supply at the far end of the body, thus lowering the temperature at the far end.

4, may suffer from cancer

People with cold hands and feet are prone to cancer? This can't help but surprise many women and the elderly! Because for them, it is almost normal for them to feel that their hands and feet are not warm in winter, but will they really be entangled in cancer?

However, if your hands and feet are cold all the year round, you still feel tired and afraid of the cold, you can't get out of bed, your lips are white, your desire is declining, and your female leucorrhea is thin, so you need to be vigilant. This kind of people belong to cold constitution, that is, yang deficiency constitution.

According to experts, the occurrence of tumor is closely related to the healthy qi of human body. People with long-term weakness of spleen and stomach and lack of healthy qi are more vulnerable to "evil spirits" and may become cancerous. As the saying goes, "the spleen and stomach are weak, and many a mickle makes a mickle." Therefore, people with the above problems had better see a doctor as soon as possible. In particular, if there are early signs of cancer such as hemoptysis and melena, you should seek medical advice in time.

2. How to regulate cold hands and feet?

1, do more exercise

Let the body move, which is conducive to speeding up metabolism and blood circulation. Simple actions, such as climbing stairs and jumping in place, can accelerate the release of heat in the body.

2, diet conditioning

Not partial eclipse, eating on time, balanced nutrition, so that the body has enough fuel to generate heat and maintain normal body temperature.

3, pay attention to keep warm

Wear more clothes when it's cold and cover yourself with a quilt when you sleep. Women should pay special attention to the warmth of the feet, because the cold easily invades from the feet, and the feet are farthest from the heart and have less blood supply. In addition, the fat layer on their feet is thinner and more vulnerable to cold stimulation.

4. Massage acupoints

Massage (1) and Xinshu (between the two shoulder blades, spine and bilateral tendons) for 36 times, and turn left and right 18 times.

(2), Shenshu point (that is, the waist eyes on both sides), massage 36 times on both sides, turn left and right 18 times, which is very conducive to promoting blood circulation in the legs.

(3) Knead Yongquan point until it feels hot, and then rub your toes.

(4) Especially where there are a few hairs in the second section of the big toe, it is called "Sanmao Point". You should rub it more, and then gently knead it for 3~5 times.

5. Take a bath before going to bed

Soaking hands and feet with hot water before going to bed can not only promote the circulation of vascular endings, but also help sleep. You can use a bucket filled with hot water, rice wine and ginger slices (the ratio of hot water to rice wine is 1∶ 1) to soak your feet, which is helpful to improve women's fear of cold. But put on cotton socks to keep warm immediately after soaking dry, and you can also wear them when sleeping.

3. What should I eat if my hands and feet are cold?

When it comes to raw and cooked fruits and vegetables, the god of food thinks that in fact, the layout of five articles a week is limited, and only a few typical articles that everyone often encounters can be selected. Because fruits and vegetables that can be eaten raw can generally be cooked. Of course, on the other hand, be careful. We should grasp this principle. Let's talk about chestnuts today.

Theme: chestnut brown sugar water

Ingredients: sweet potato 1, chestnut 15, and brown sugar.

Exercise:

1. Peel chestnuts, wash and peel sweet potatoes, and cut into pieces;

2. Boil the casserole with water. After boiling, add chestnuts and cook for 10 minute, then add sweet potatoes and cook for 10 minute until soft;

3. Add brown sugar and cook for another 5 minutes, then turn off the heat. Open the lid and stew for 10 minutes.

First, eat chestnuts after the first frost to nourish the stomach, strengthen the spleen and tonify the kidney.

After the first frost, the climate turned cold, and human qi and blood began to converge. This time is especially suitable for eating chestnuts for tonic. Chestnuts are sweet and warm, and have the effects of nourishing stomach and spleen, tonifying kidney and strengthening tendons, promoting blood circulation to stop bleeding, relieving cough and resolving phlegm.

Chestnut is listed as a top-grade medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine, which can tonify the kidney and promote blood circulation, replenish qi and thicken the stomach. It can be compared with ginseng, astragalus and angelica, especially for kidney deficiency, so it is called "the fruit of kidney".

Chestnuts, whether eaten raw or cooked, can achieve the ideal nourishing effect: eaten raw, suitable for those who vomit blood and have blood in the stool; Boiled and fried foods are suitable for people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold. Excessive consumption of chestnuts is easy to hurt the spleen and stomach, and those who are stagnant and bloating are forbidden to eat.

The chestnut brown sugar water taught today can not only tonify the kidney, but also promote blood circulation and iron, which is suitable for friends with cold hands and feet to drink while it is hot.

Second, eating sweet potatoes together is more nutritious than eating them alone.

In addition, besides our protagonist Chestnut, we also want to talk about sweet potato. Sweet potato is best eaten with other grains, because if eaten alone, the content of protein is low, which will lead to unbalanced nutrient intake. Therefore, it is healthier to cut sweet potatoes and cook them with cereal.
