In the cold winter, many people will feel cold hands and feet, especially afraid of the cold. The main reason for cold hands and feet is that the metabolism slows down in winter and the natural temperature drops, which will weaken the ability of human blood vessels to contract and return to blood, making the blood circulation of hands and feet, especially toes, not smooth, resulting in the feeling of cold hands and feet. Cold hands and feet is just a symptom, which can be relieved by yourself in some ways:

Adjusting mentality and avoiding mental tension or emotional excitement have a certain effect on preventing cold hands and feet. Studies have confirmed that when you are emotional, the temperature of your hands will drop by 3 ~ 6 degrees Celsius quickly, and you can recover after you calm down.

Pay attention to keep warm and avoid cold, and reduce the direct stimulation of cold: as the temperature drops, we should increase clothes, shoes and socks in time; The skin of hands and feet can also be often rubbed with some oil. When necessary, wear gloves and thick cotton shoes when going out. As the saying goes, "Cold starts from the feet". If you keep your lower limbs warm, you will feel warm all over.

Exercise can promote blood circulation. You can do all-round exercise by walking, jogging, climbing stairs, fitness dancing and so on. If the hands are cold, the upper limbs should be more active, and if the feet are cold, the lower limbs should be more active. By strengthening the exercise of hands and feet, the symptoms of cold hands and feet can be improved. Exercise should be regular in order to receive obvious curative effect. At the same time, soak hands and feet with warm water every day, massage limbs and improve local blood circulation.

Eat food with enough calories. Eat more foods with enough calories, such as meat, pasta, eggs, milk, etc., to increase the body's heat production, but obese and diabetic patients should be cautious. You can also eat some foods that promote blood circulation, such as sesame seeds and peanuts. Onions and peppers can also help the body generate heat and promote blood circulation. Under the guidance of doctors, taking some traditional Chinese medicines, such as ginseng, velvet antler, royal jelly, etc., can enhance the body's cold resistance.

However, when taking hot water bubble, massage and other methods, we must be proper, otherwise it may lead to other diseases, such as varicose veins of lower limbs, diabetes and other diseases. It is best to soak your feet with hot water carefully, and massage and take a bath moderately to feel comfortable or slightly painful. Excessive strength may damage muscles. If the frequency of cold hands and feet is relatively high, don't completely ignore it, such as cold hands and feet accompanied by limb pain, edema of lower limbs, black, purple and brown skin. Be sure to go to the hospital in time, because diseases such as vascular embolism of lower limbs are likely to occur.
