Huang, a rehabilitation physician at Miaoli Daqian General Hospital, said that many people are too lazy to exercise when they encounter low temperature, especially computer people who sit in the office for a long time or people who don't exercise for a long time. They often have cold hands and feet, poor blood circulation and increasingly stiff bodies. Over time, it will cause upper body pain or muscle strain during activities, and even feel cold when wearing too many clothes.
