Cold weather in winter, cold hands and feet are too common, even thick gloves and cotton socks are useless. Even if there is a warm baby, it can only be warmed for a while, especially in the south. Without heating, it can be said that it is very difficult. Neijing says that "all diseases must be included", which needs to find the root cause from the body.

Then why are your hands and feet cold? There are usually three reasons:

First of all, there is not enough yang in the body to warm the human body, especially the hands and feet at the ends of the limbs. So there will be a whole body afraid of cold, especially hands and feet, and even some friends will break out in a cold sweat. Winter is more suitable for diet therapy and tonic. You can eat more warm foods, such as beef and mutton, pork belly, pumpkin, ginger, fermented grains, longan and so on. , to warm Yang.

Secondly, the yang of the body itself is not weak, but the qi and blood are not running smoothly, which leads to the stagnation of yang, which can not reach the hands and feet, resulting in cold hands and feet. Most of these people are just cold hands and feet, and the trunk part of the body is not afraid of cold or even heat. It is more common for friends who are sedentary or stand still for a long time, such as teachers, especially.

This kind of qi and blood is not smooth, so it is best to strengthen exercise, move your hands, feet and waist more, play a set of eight brocade every day and wear some loose clothes. Eat hawthorn, roses, kumquat and other foods that can promote blood circulation, soothe the liver and relieve depression.

The last reason is that the liver-qi is uncomfortable. This kind of person is also afraid of cold, especially at the ends of limbs, especially hands and feet. In this case, when the liver qi is uncomfortable and the mood is bad, the syndrome of Sinisan appears. This is because the liver qi can't be released, which leads to stagnation of qi and blood. Yang Qi is blocked in the body and can't reach the limbs, which leads to cold limbs.

In this case, you can't warm the yang, and you need to soothe the liver and regulate qi. Many people are like this now. To this end, the fire method has specially arranged three points of winter health preservation to teach everyone to have a warm winter!

1. Drink more porridge in cold weather.

Drink more hot porridge in winter. Many places have the habit of drinking red bean porridge from winter to Sunday, and drinking Laba porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. This way of keeping in good health makes sense. Porridge products can strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, digest well and increase calories quickly. If other beans, nuts or nutrients are added, the health care effect will be better. Such as sesame porridge for nourishing yin and essence, radish porridge for promoting digestion and resolving phlegm, walnut porridge for nourishing yin and essence, Poria porridge for invigorating spleen and nourishing stomach, jujube porridge for invigorating qi and nourishing yin, etc.

In addition, you can eat more white radish in winter. The proverb "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer" is very popular in many places in China. In winter, people are used to health and tonic, with relatively little activity, and it is easy to accumulate heat and produce phlegm. Eating more radishes in daily diet will help to resolve phlegm and promote digestion.

2. tonic should be correct.

Tonifying in winter is the most timely, but you should distinguish your physique. If you often feel weak limbs, mental fatigue, low voice and sweating during exercise, most of them belong to qi deficiency. You can eat some ginseng, Codonopsis pilosula, Pseudostellaria heterophylla, Astragalus membranaceus, Atractylodes macrocephala and so on. And you can eat more yam, chestnut, beef, rabbit meat, etc.

If you belong to people with yellow skin, pale lips, frequent dizziness, weak heartbeat, insomnia, tinnitus and palpitations, then most of them belong to blood deficiency. You can eat some donkey-hide gelatin, longan, red dates, angelica, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata and Radix Paeoniae Alba, and you can also eat more black sesame seeds, black dates, mulberries, black glutinous rice, beef liver and sheep liver.

In addition, in order to make the stomach have an adaptive process, don't forget to adjust the stomach before and at the same time. You can eat some poria cocos, dried tangerine peel, codonopsis pilosula, white lentils and so on. Tonifying spleen and stomach weakness will be better.

It needs ventilation in cold weather.

In winter, many people like to close doors and windows, which is a very bad habit. In addition to opening doors and windows to allow air convection during the day, small gaps should be opened at night to keep ventilation. Closing doors and windows will lead to poor indoor air circulation. Proper ventilation can keep indoor air clean and avoid dust accumulation.

But if it is foggy, it is recommended not to open the doors and windows. There is a cloud in Huangdi Neijing: "In winter and March, this is called closed Tibet. Water and ice are frozen, and there is no interference with the sun. If you go to bed early and get up late, you must wait for the sun. 」

After beginning of winter, it got dark earlier and earlier. Just like heaven and earth, the human body should go to bed early and get up late. Go to bed early and let the sun be the spirit have a good rest. If time permits, you'd better get up when the sun shines. At this time, the yang of the human body rises rapidly, which makes people clear-headed.

People in liver blood deficiency often fidget, can't sleep well, and consume liver blood and yin essence, leading to anxiety, irritability and rapid aging. The best way to keep healthy in winter is to keep a good mood and have a good sleep. It is a shortcut to maintain health to replenish yang and let the body repair itself.
