Why are thin people more afraid of cold than fat people? How should thin people keep cold and warm?
In winter, generally thin people are more afraid of cold than fat people. There is a simple reason. Thin people's fat layer is thinner, and if they don't keep warm, they will be more afraid of cold, while fat people are less afraid of cold if they keep warm with fat layer. For thin people, winter needs more tonic to keep out the cold better. So how should thin people keep warm?

1, thin people eat more of these foods.

(1) Auricularia auricula

Auricularia auricula contains more trace elements, which can prevent blood coagulation, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and dry stool. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that auricularia auricula is flat and sweet, has the effects of invigorating qi, improving intelligence and promoting blood production, and is effective for anemia, backache, leg weakness and numbness of limbs.

(2) Dog meat

Dog meat contains more taurine and peptides, but little fat. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dog meat is warm, which has the effects of tonifying kidney, strengthening yang and dispelling cold, and has a good effect on low back pain, chills, cold limbs, nocturnal polyuria and increased calories.

(3) Milk

Milk contains 9 essential amino acids. Fat particles are small and highly dispersed, so the digestibility is high; The carbohydrate in milk is mainly lactose, which is beneficial to the reproduction of lactic acid bacteria and inhibits the growth of spoilage bacteria. Chinese medicine believes that milk is sweet and flat, and has the functions of nourishing the body, promoting fluid production and moistening the intestines, and quenching thirst.

(4) Foods containing iodine

Iodized foods such as kelp, laver, sea salt, Nostoc flagelliforme, Chinese cabbage, spinach and corn can promote the secretion of thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormone has thermogenic effect, which can accelerate the oxidation process of most tissues and cells in the body (except brain, gland and uterus), increase thermogenesis, increase basal metabolic rate, strengthen skin blood circulation and resist cold.

(5) Rhizome food

Medical researchers have found that people's fear of cold is related to the lack of inorganic salts in the body. Lotus root, carrot, lily, sweet potato, green vegetables and Chinese cabbage are all rich in inorganic salts, so these foods may as well be eaten with other foods.

(6) Foods with high iron content

Researchers at Pennsylvania State University in the United States found that iron deficiency in human blood can also make people afraid of cold. Anemic women's body temperature is 0.7℃ lower than that of women with normal hemoglobin, and their heat production is less 13%. When iron intake increases, their cold tolerance is obviously enhanced. Therefore, women who are afraid of the cold can consciously increase the intake of foods with high iron content, such as spinach.

2. How to prevent cold air in spring?

1, you should properly "cover in spring", don't take off your winter clothes immediately because the temperature rises temporarily, and pay attention to keep warm when the temperature is low in the morning and evening.

2. Eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and stomach, such as chicken, duck, lean meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits, etc. These foods are rich in vitamins and trace elements and easy to digest.

3, to ensure timely indoor dust removal and ventilation, to reduce and inhibit the survival and reproduction of germs.

4. Take proper outdoor activities and breathe fresh air, so as to improve the cardiopulmonary function and make the body better adjust and adapt to the changeable climate in spring.

5, drink plenty of water, which is not only conducive to maintaining blood flow, but also can prevent respiratory diseases. When there is a "cold spring" phenomenon, we should also pay attention to tonic. At this time, we should eat more food to dispel dampness and dispel cold, ensure the body's ability to keep out the cold, and prevent the intrusion of diseases.

3, cold and warm methods in autumn and winter

(1) Autumn freezing should be moderate.

The so-called autumn freezing means that when the weather gets cold, people's pores should be closed to prevent colds. If you put on thick clothes too early, the pores will open because of the heat, and the cold caused by sudden cooling can easily hurt people through the pores.

But even so, you should not be greedy and cold without keeping warm, otherwise it will easily damage the yang of the spleen and stomach, especially those with deficiency of the spleen and stomach.

(2) Pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm.

It is also important to keep your abdomen warm. It is not suitable to wear navel-revealing clothes this season, otherwise the cold will easily invade the human body through the navel. If the cold directly invades the stomach, it will cause acute abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting. In addition, even if you don't feel cold at night, cover your navel with a quilt to avoid cold invasion.

(3) People who are physically weak can drink porridge for tonic.

For some people who are already weak and prone to illness, it is best to replace drugs with food supplements, and health porridge is a good choice. Drinking a bowl of porridge in autumn morning can not only cure autumn coolness, but also prevent autumn dryness, such as tremella porridge, lotus seed porridge, sesame porridge, jujube porridge, sweet potato porridge porridge and corn porridge. In the daily diet, you can eat more pears, tremella, honey, lily, medlar, radish, bean products and so on. Eat more orange vegetables such as pumpkins and carrots.
