There are five factors that cause cold hands and feet.
1, peripheral circulation difference. Cold hands and feet in winter is a normal physiological phenomenon, because the temperature drop will make blood vessels contract, and the blood reflux ability will be weakened, resulting in poor blood circulation of hands and feet, especially fingertips and toes, and poor peripheral nerve circulation. Wear more clothes at ordinary times, eat more warm food and exercise more to promote reflux and alleviate the problem of cold hands and feet. It is difficult for people with weak vascular reflux and poor peripheral circulation to warm their limbs in this way.
2. Disease factors. People with excessive mental stress, sensitive mind, excessive anxiety and emotional anxiety are also people with cold hands and feet.
3. Deficiency of both qi and blood, weakness of spleen yang and stagnation of liver qi. In addition to yang deficiency, according to different symptoms, Chinese medicine believes that cold hands and feet may also be caused by some deficiency and excess diseases. According to experts, in terms of weakness, deficiency of both qi and blood, weakness of spleen yang and deficiency of spleen and kidney yang will cause cold hands and feet regardless of seasonal changes or mood. In fact, feeling cold evil may lead to blood stasis and stagnation of liver qi. The former means that the limbs are blue when you have a cold, and you feel pain when you are serious. The latter refers to emotional instability at ordinary times, mild helplessness when depressed, and the symptoms disappear after emotional calm.
4. Yang deficiency constitution. Most people with cold hands and feet are caused by yang deficiency constitution. If you still feel cold after buying warm clothes, you should pay attention to whether Chinese medicine has a constitution called' Yang deficiency'. "Yang deficiency" is also called deficiency cold. As the name implies, it refers to yang deficiency of human body, mostly spleen and kidney yang deficiency. Yang is the foundation of life, and warming the body is one of its important functions. If the yang is insufficient, the trunk and limbs, such as hands and feet, can not be transported, and there will be cold hands and feet. Therefore, one of the important ways to relieve cold hands and feet is to recuperate the body and supplement the yang.
5. Hormonal changes caused by menstruation and fertility. Women account for the vast majority of people with cold hands and feet. This is the hormonal change that causes subcutaneous vasoconstriction and blood flow reduction by affecting the nervous system, thus causing chills.
How to maintain health on the solstice after winter?
Clothes-cold and warm
Attention should be paid to cold protection and warmth in winter solstice health care. I believe many people have heard the phrase "autumn is dry and winter is cold", especially in the north, where winter is very cold. At this time, pay attention to the warmth of the head, feet, abdomen, back and other places. These places are the most vulnerable to cold, and a little carelessness will cause a cold and lead to illness.
Eat-use warm tonics more and eat less cold.
The winter solstice is cold. In order to keep warm, people should eat more warm food and less cold food. Such as chicken, mutton, beef and crucian carp. It tastes delicious and can be used as a tonic in winter.
Line-fitting exercise
On the solstice of winter, Yin Qi is full of vitality, and Yang Qi begins to rise and gradually prosper. Because Yang is born from Yin, it will be born better only when Yin is strong enough.
