What if your hands and feet are cold? (1) "Zangyang" causes cold hands and feet. In winter, many people have cold hands and feet. Some people think that this is the so-called "virtual", emphasizing exercise and tonic. Therefore, many people with cold hands and feet blindly get up early to exercise and eat supplements. In fact, this does not conform to the principle of winter health preservation of traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine believes that winter is the season when the sun is god, which is called "when the sun is down, it is winter". Hands and feet, relative to the trunk, are the two ends of the human body, which is called "four ends" in Chinese medicine. In winter, "the sun is the spirit, and it has not reached the end of the four seasons", so it is easy to get cold hands and feet. Winter exercise is suitable for jogging and walking, and winter health preservation should conform to the law of nature's seclusion, with "gathering yin and protecting yang" as the foundation. Appropriate tonic, yang conditioning, usually pay attention to heat preservation, keep hands and feet clean and dry, rub hands and feet, in order to improve the microcirculation of human peripheral blood vessels and warm hands and feet. Daily aftercare emphasizes going to bed early and getting up late to ensure adequate sleep, which is conducive to the hiding of yang and the accumulation of yin essence. At the same time, jogging, walking and playing Tai Ji Chuan should be chosen for winter exercise, and excessive and high-intensity exercise is not advisable. In addition, too little clothing, low room temperature, easy to catch a cold, yang consumption; On the other hand, it is easy to sweat, Yang Can is not hidden, and cold evil can easily invade. So keep warm in winter in moderation. You should follow the old adage of "nourishing Yin in autumn and winter" and "not disturbing Yang". "Eating and drinking is about to happen" says: "It's cold in winter, so you should eat millet to cure its cold with heat." In other words, eat less cold in winter, but it is not suitable for hot and dry. Therefore, we should eat a diet with high calorie, nourishing yin and suppressing yang, and eat more fresh vegetables to avoid vitamin deficiency. However, it must be noted that it is winter, and the climatic conditions in different regions are very different, and the methods of tonic are also different. It is cold in winter in the north, so warm food, such as cattle, sheep and dog meat, can be supplemented appropriately; However, the climate in the south is mild, and tonic should clean up the sweetness, such as chicken, duck and fish. In dry places, you should eat more sweet and nutritious foods, such as fruits, vegetables and rock sugar. In addition, it varies from person to person, and it is not allowed to make up indiscriminately, especially in medicine, which requires the guidance of a doctor. (2) Some people feel that cold hands and feet are common in winter. This is mainly because the natural temperature drops, the yang is insufficient, the human body itself is also insufficient, and the body appears yang deficiency. In addition, due to the cold weather, the ability of vasoconstriction and blood return will be weakened, which will make the blood circulation of hands and feet, especially fingertips, not smooth, which is often called "poor circulation of nerve endings", resulting in the feeling of cold hands and feet. 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. Cold can make people's whole body or local blood circulation poor, or blood circulation in limbs is blocked, which will lead to cold hands and feet. Cold hands and feet are often cold for a long time, which can be called "cold syndrome". Chinese medicine theory believes that this is a reaction of qi deficiency, qi stagnation and yang deficiency. Women are more likely to have cold hands and feet during special physiological periods such as menstruation, pregnancy and childbirth because of their weak body. If not prevented in time, it will lead to poor spirit, chills and severe varicose veins of lower limbs. 1. Eat American ginseng. This is a good medicine for invigorating qi, which is peaceful, nourishing and not dry. You can drink it alone in water. 2. Eat sesame seeds and peanuts. Rich in vitamin E and various nutrients, it helps to absorb vitamin B and strengthen the cold resistance of nerves. Vitamin E also has the function of dilating blood vessels, which can strengthen the blood circulation of limbs. 3. Eat more onions, peppers and other foods that can help the body generate heat and promote blood circulation. Other measures: Soaking feet with hot water at ordinary times can not only keep warm, but also relieve tired nerves. (3) Many people will have cold hands and feet in autumn and winter. Chinese medicine believes that fear of cold is caused by weakness of yang in the body. The treatment of cold hands and feet mainly lies in dredging meridians, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and improving blood circulation and metabolism. If you regularly massage the following three acupoints, you will definitely get satisfactory results. 1. Massage Yongquan. First, quickly rub the center of the left foot with the right palm, and then quickly rub the center of the right foot with the left palm until it feels hot. Massage 100 times every morning and evening, and then massage 100 times every toe. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that many meridians of the human body gather in the soles of the feet and are closely related to all organs, tissues and organs of the whole body. In particular, stimulating Yongquan point is beneficial to tonifying kidney and strengthening yang, strengthening tendons and bones. Rubbing this acupoint often will inevitably promote the recovery of cold hands and feet. 2. Press and knead the air pocket (inside the thigh root). There is a beating artery at the bottom of this point. First press the point of rubbing qi, then press the artery, and then press it alternately one by one until the legs and feet feel the hot air flowing downwards. 3. Press Shenshu (waist eyes on both sides). Slap a little hard 100 each. According to the viewpoint of "exercise generates yang", we can improve the symptoms of cold hands and feet by strengthening the exercise of hands and feet. In addition to the above methods, you can also do all-round exercise by walking, jogging, climbing stairs and dancing. If the hands are cold, the activity of the upper limbs should be larger, and if the feet are cold, the activity of the lower limbs should be larger. Dietotherapy can change yang deficiency and increase body heat. For example, the commonly used jujube brown sugar soup (10 jujube, 5 slices of ginger, and appropriate amount of brown sugar) is quite effective in improving the symptoms of cold hands and feet. In addition, eating more mutton and dog meat can warm the middle energizer, invigorate the spleen, nourish the kidney and liver, keep out the cold and remove dampness.
