From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, hands and feet are prone to cold and numbness, which mostly belongs to qi and blood problems, because qi deficiency and blood deficiency lead to poor blood operation and insufficient blood volume.
The main reason for cold hands and feet
* weak heart, unable to supply blood to peripheral parts of the body.
* insufficient blood in the body, low hemoglobin and red blood cells.
* Blood vessel blockage, or fever and cold will affect the central nervous system of the brain, leading to cold hands and feet.
* There is something wrong with the sympathetic nerve function, which makes the muscles unable to contract when it is cold and generates heat energy to resist the cold.
Who is the easiest to get cold feet?
* A girl who is too thin.
Girls with thin constitution and deficiency-cold constitution are most likely to have cold hands and feet, because the peripheral blood circulation of such people is poor, which is easy to disorder the thermoregulation mechanism. Cold hands and feet are caused by poor regulation of autonomic nerve function and thinning of blood vessels. Moreover, toes, knees, shoulders and fingers belong to joint areas with more exercise, because there are relatively few fat and blood vessels, and heat is easily lost.
* When blood sugar is too low or too low.
Food is an important source of body heat. Too much weight loss, too hungry, and too low blood sugar will make your hands and feet cold. When blood pressure is low, blood circulation will be poor. When you are tired and weak, your blood pressure will drop easily and your hands and feet will be cold.
* When the pressure is too high
Your hands and feet will be cold and trembling because of stressful work pressure or time pressure. As long as you get through this tense period, you will gradually return to warmth.
* The clothes are not warm enough.
If your hands and feet are cold, there is something wrong with the average temperature adjustment. If you have put on more clothes, but your hands and feet have not recovered to a warm level, you should pay attention, because many people's body surface temperature-sensitive nerve receptors are "cold spots" because they are too slow to feel cold.
* Cold weather or staying in an air-conditioned room for a long time
Will reduce blood flow, slow down blood flow, cold hands and feet.
