1, the trick of Chinese medicine: supplementing Yang Qi.
In view of yang deficiency type body cold, nourishing yang to keep out the cold, if you are not only cold in your hands and feet, but also cold in your whole body, I am afraid your body yang is insufficient. Yang is the heat source of the body, which plays the role of heating and warming in the body. When the yang is sufficient, the blood will distribute these heat energy to all parts of the body along the meridians, including the limbs: hands and feet.
Step 2 eat food that tonifies yang
This kind of food is easily transformed into yang through simple transformation of spleen and stomach. The most suitable meat for Buyang food is beef, mutton and chicken, the most suitable seasoning is ginger and onion, the most suitable vegetable is potato, and the most suitable drink is black tea. You don't have to eat a lot of food to replenish yang qi, just eat some every day. After a period of time, you can feel that the problem of cold hands and feet has eased.
3. Warm moxibustion at Qihai and Guanyuan points
Chinese medicine pays special attention to the maintenance of a little day, that is, the location of Guanyuan and Qihai points we talked about. These two acupoints are like the source of human yang. Doing warm moxibustion on these two acupoints is equivalent to heating from the source, and the body will naturally warm up.
Location of Qihai point: lower abdomen, navel vertically downward 1.5 inch.
Location of Guanyuan point: lower abdomen, navel vertical downward 3 inches.
4. Hot spring bath
Most hot springs contain sulfur. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sulfur is one of the best minerals to enhance human yang. When you have time, you often go to a hot spring to soak, so that more sulfur can cheer up the body's lack of yang, thus improving the cold hands and feet. You can also choose a simpler way: buy a bar of soap containing sulfur. In this way, taking a bath every day is to supplement the yang.
Step 5 sunbathe your back
Shoulder and back are the main parts of our body to collect the yang in nature. The seven most important meridians that control and transport the yang of human body meet at the shoulder and back, and you can get more yang by drying your back frequently. Especially at Dazhui point (below the most prominent bone in the back of the neck when you bow your head), you can wear thin clothes to bask in the sun, and the body will transport the absorbed yang to the whole body as quickly as possible.
Two, five misunderstandings that should be avoided in winter cold and warmth.
Myth 1: The coat doesn't fit.
As the saying goes, "cold comes from the soles of your feet", and keeping warm in autumn and winter should start from the lower body. However, many coats only reach the waist, which leads to the lower body not being kept warm, and the temperature difference between the upper and lower bodies increases, resulting in poor blood circulation, which in turn leads to getting colder and colder.
It is recommended to wear a tunic and increase the thickness of the lower body clothes.
Myth 2: The clothes are wrapped too tightly.
The air layer between each layer of clothes has a good effect of isolating cold air. If the clothes are tightly wrapped, there will be less air between layers of clothes, but the heat preservation effect is not obvious, which makes people feel cold.
In addition, too tight underwear will also affect the flow of lymph and blood, making people colder.
Myth 3: Wear tights with knee-length boots.
This is a common dress for many ladies who love beauty in autumn and winter, but boots are not conducive to ventilation, and the water in the shoes is not volatile. It is easy to relax and deform after wearing for a long time, allowing cold air to leak in, which in turn makes the legs and feet cold. In addition, tights are generally made of chemical fiber, which is not conducive to sweat absorption and will also cause foot odor.
Myth 4: wearing the wrong socks
Winter cold and warmth should be comprehensive, and ankle parts should not be ignored. But if wearing socks that are too short, too thick and too tight can't achieve this goal, it is recommended to wear stockings with appropriate thickness and loose socks.
Myth 5: Don't change clothes in time
If you have a high body temperature or sweat after exercise, you should change the innermost clothes in time to avoid catching a cold.
These foods keep you warm all winter.
fruit of Chinese magnolia vine
Why is it called "Schisandra chinensis" because it has five flavors, accounting for the whole series of ups and downs. Schisandra chinensis can be directly soaked in water or made into soup, which has the function of astringing the lung and benefiting the kidney.
sea salt
Compared with refined salt, sea salt seems to be coarser and larger, but many nutrients in sea salt are lacking in ordinary refined salt. Many chefs are iron fans of sea salt, and they also value the natural taste of sea salt.
Saffron
Saffron seems to have more benefits for women. The key to promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, enriching blood and nourishing blood is that it is a food with two-way regulation.
pearmain
As the saying goes, an apple a day. In fact, different colors of apples have slightly different nutritional values. Red apples are more conducive to human heart health, but also improve memory and maintain the health of the urinary system.
tomato
Red ingredients generally have the function of enriching blood, and tomatoes are no exception. When you feel thirsty, fidgety, bitter taste and bleeding gums in winter, you can eat one or two tomatoes properly.
Fourth, the knowledge of keeping warm and cold in winter brings warmth.
Have you ever thought about keeping warm by drinking hot drinks to keep healthy?
First of all, consider whether hot drinks bring more calories. Many hot drinks will add sugar, which is high in calories. Too much calories can cause weight gain and even obesity, and too much sugar can also induce dental caries, osteoporosis and diabetes.
Second, hot drinks may contain trans fatty acids, such as creamer (also called non-dairy creamer). One of the main components of non-dairy creamer is hydrogenated vegetable oil. Trans fatty acids may be produced during the hydrogenation of vegetable oil, which may increase the risk of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. The World Health Organization suggests that trans fatty acids in the diet should be controlled as much as possible, and the maximum intake should not exceed 1% of the total energy.
Third, plastic cups or paper cups filled with hot drinks may also have potential safety hazards, which may precipitate harmful substances;
Fourth, don't drink too hot drinks to avoid esophageal burns. In addition, drinking too much will make you sweat, and wet clothes will make people feel colder.
The thicker the quilt, the warmer it is?
When the temperature drops, we like to cover ourselves with thick quilts, which makes us feel very safe. However, a heavy quilt will make people feel oppressive, and the muscles will not be relaxed, which will cause muscle soreness and affect the quality of sleep. It is suggested to choose a soft quilt that contains and keeps more air, because the air has low thermal conductivity, which can better preserve body heat and play a role in keeping warm. According to the indoor temperature, you can choose to cover two layers of soft and thin quilts. According to economic conditions, the materials can be soft and good quality quilts, wool quilts, duvets, porous fiber quilts and so on. The size is relatively large, so it is comfortable to wear and has better warmth retention effect. When using, we should pay attention to keeping the soles of the feet and the neck tight, reduce air convection inside and outside the quilt and reduce heat loss. No matter what kind of quilt it is, it is recommended to put on a quilt cover and dry it often.
Loneliness will lower your temperature, so take off your bill in the New Year!
Loneliness is a state of lack of ideological or emotional intimacy. Occasionally, short-term loneliness has little effect on psychology and physiology, while long-term loneliness will cause psychological obstacles and even physical damage. Physiological research has found that the function of hypothalamus can cause emotional response, and emotional changes will also affect hypothalamus, and the main center of thermoregulation is also in hypothalamus. Emotional changes will cause changes in hypothalamic hormone secretion, thus affecting body temperature changes. When you feel lonely and depressed, your body temperature will drop.
Men are more frost-resistant than women.
Generally speaking, women are more afraid of cold than men. Scientists believe that the physiological difference between men and women is the reason why men and women feel different about cold. First, the body composition is different. Male muscle content is usually higher than that of female. When cold comes, muscle is an important tissue for human body to generate heat. Second, women's temperature sensors are more sensitive than men's, so they are more sensitive to cold than men's; Third, women usually exercise less than men, and the whole body or local blood circulation is not as good as men; Fourth, women lose iron during menstruation, and most women have to go on a diet in order to keep fit. The intake of iron is often insufficient, and the oxygen carrying capacity of blood will also decrease, resulting in slower metabolism and feeling "cold".
