Many women will have cold hands and feet. Cold hands and feet for a long time are not only uncomfortable, but also prone to chilblain and other diseases. The main reason of cold hands and feet is that the metabolism of blood slows down in winter, and the low temperature makes blood vessels contract, which weakens the blood reflux ability and makes the blood circulation of hands and feet, especially the fingertip and toe, and the terminal nerve circulation not smooth.

Nursing scheme of cold hands and feet

Soak your feet every day

Soaking feet is the most effective method. Add hot water of about 40 degrees to the deep basin, so that the water overflows the ankle. Soak for about 20 minutes, you will feel whole body fever, indicating that after the blood circulation is smooth, the body begins to heat up. If you rub your feet while soaking them, the effect will be better.

aerobic exercise

Jogging, brisk walking, skipping rope, disco dancing, playing Tai Ji Chuan, etc. It will make all parts of the body move and promote blood circulation, but don't exercise too much. High-intensity exercise and excessive sweating will "release yang" and have the opposite effect.

Wear cotton socks

Pure cotton socks are not only soft and comfortable, but also absorb sweat from your feet, keeping your feet dry and comfortable all day.

Caloric food

The weather is cold, in order to increase calories and improve the coldness of hands and feet, it needs to be supplemented deliberately. It is cold in winter in the north, so you can supplement warm foods, such as beef, mutton or dog meat. The mild climate in the south is more suitable for adding sweetness, such as chicken, duck and fish. And try to eat less cold fruits such as pears and water chestnuts.

In order to ensure adequate sleep

Treatment of cold hands and feet with orange peel

Japanese scientists have found that hesperidin extracted from orange peel, added to drinking water, can significantly improve the phenomenon of cold hands and feet of women. In the experiment, the researchers asked 10 women with cold hands and feet to drink hesperidin water and 10 patients to drink pure water. After two hours, let them soak their hands in cold water 1 min, and then test the recovery of blood flow and temperature. The results showed that the hand temperature of a group of people who drank pure water did not recover after 40 minutes, while that of a group who drank hesperidin water only recovered to the temperature before cold water immersion in 30 to 35 minutes, and the blood flow of fingertip capillaries was obviously improved.
