Most warm foods, such as mutton, beef, chicken, ribs and other meats, are rich in protein and fat, which can quickly replenish calories and resist the cold. In addition, Chinese medicine believes that red dates, longan, leeks, walnuts, peanuts, yam, sesame seeds, millet and other foods have the function of warming yang and benefiting qi, and eating more in moderation can improve the ability to keep out the cold.
2. Foods rich in minerals
Fear of cold is related to the lack of minerals in the diet. For example, calcium deficiency will affect the flexibility and excitability of blood vessels and muscles, thus affecting the body's heat production. Therefore, it is advisable to eat more calcium-rich foods such as bean products and shrimp skin in winter. Many women's fear of cold in winter is related to anemia and iron deficiency in the body. They can eat more iron-rich foods, such as pork liver, spinach, fungus, kelp and sesame. In addition, carrots, sweet potatoes, lotus roots, potatoes and other root vegetables contain a lot of minerals, which can also enhance the cold resistance of the human body if eaten regularly.
3. What fruit does the Great Cold eat?
