1, the cause of body cold
1, weak
Chinese medicine believes that most people who are afraid of cold are physically weak, which leads to a decline in their ability to keep out the cold. Therefore, if you want to improve the phenomenon of chills, you must first make your body strong.
2. Poor blood circulation
Poor blood circulation can also lead to chills. We all know that blood is the source of life and qi is the source of strength. Poor blood gas can make the body look like a withered flower. Therefore, if you want to resist the cold, you must solve the phenomenon of poor qi and blood.
2. What food do you eat to warm yourself up?
1, hot milk
Milk is a cold food, but it becomes warm after heating, so it can be safely eaten. This also reminds everyone that it is best not to eat cold food when the temperature is low, and it is best to choose hot food if you like it very much.
Milk, which is cold after heating, is still a good choice. Nutrients in milk can supplement the daily needs of the body, especially vitamins are the source of strength of the body, and long-term drinking can improve the phenomenon of physical weakness.
2. Tocopherol
In the above article, we also mentioned that the body's fear of cold may be caused by poor blood circulation. Bian Xiao suggested that a certain amount of vitamin E can be added to the body, because vitamin E can help the vascular endings to dilate and promote blood circulation, especially for friends who are prone to catch cold in their hands and feet.
We can choose foods rich in vitamin E, such as cereals, wheat germ oil, cottonseed oil, green leafy vegetables, egg yolks, nuts, meat and dairy products. Or we can choose vitamin E capsules directly.
3. What are the reasons for being afraid of the cold?
First, iron deficiency. The experimental results of American weight scientists and nutritionists show that the lack of iron in blood of people with low cold tolerance is often accompanied by the decrease of thyroxine in plasma, while women mainly lose iron because of menstruation.
People with iron deficiency have less heme, which affects the oxygen carrying capacity of blood and leads to the disorder of tissue energy metabolism, and people will feel extremely cold because of insufficient heat generated; People with low blood pressure have insufficient peripheral blood circulation, and human tissues can't get enough oxygen and energy, and they are also afraid of cold.
Second, thyroid hormone secretion is insufficient. When the secretion of thyroxine in the body is insufficient, the blood circulation in the skin and other parts slows down, and the reaction of insufficient heat to cold will be stronger; The estrogen level in menopausal women is low, which affects the stability of nerves and blood vessels and is prone to chills in the waist, abdomen, hands and feet and the whole body.
Nutritionists point out that women should consume 18 mg of iron every day, but most women can't meet this requirement, so they are afraid of cold. Thyroxine has the function of "generating heat", which can increase the basic metabolism of human body, accelerate the blood circulation of skin and increase calories. When thyroid hormone secretion is insufficient, people are afraid of cold because of less heat production.
Third, the metabolism is slow. Because of the high estrogen content in women, the heat in the body is easily converted into fat and stored under the skin, and the metabolism is slow, and the heat synthesis is greater than the decomposition, so that the heat released in the body is less. And women generally don't like activities, so they will produce less calories. Due to lack of exercise, it often leads to poor circulation in the whole body or local areas, leading to chills all over the body, especially in the peripheral parts such as hands and feet.
