What causes cold hands and feet? Which type do you have?

Cold hands and feet indicate that our constitution is of the yang deficiency and fear of cold type, especially among women. If you want to relieve the phenomenon of cold hands and feet, you can exercise more, supplement more vitamin E, and eat more foods high in niacin acid, and you will slowly warm up.

1. What causes cold hands and feet?

1. Yang deficiency causes fear of cold and cold limbs. If you are always shivering when the temperature is normal, then don't force yourself to say that you are healthy. A healthy person will not have cold hands and feet in spring, summer, autumn and winter, nor will he be afraid of cold at any time and place. If you feel cold when you expose your arms a little, remember to warm your body!

2. Yang Qi is the foundation of life. Do not relax in supporting and replenishing Yang. Liver Yang deficiency, cold and side pain are inevitable. Heart Yang deficiency, heart failure and life are in danger. Regulate kidney Yang deficiency, take licorice ginger soup when it is time to take action, let the Yang Qi in the lungs rise slowly. Spleen deficiency and cold syndrome, persistent abdominal pain.

3. Sweating is mostly caused by weak spleen and stomach, yin deficiency and blood heat. If you eat too much fatty and sweet food and have an irregular diet, it may lead to weak spleen and stomach. When the spleen and stomach functions weaken, dampness and heat will accumulate in the body. Dampness and heat tend to move downward, causing sweating in the hands and feet. The main reason for cold hands and feet is that in winter, the human heart is weak and cannot supply blood to the extremities of the body. When there is not enough blood in the body, the hemoglobin and red blood cells are low, there is blockage in the blood vessels, or there is a fever or cold, etc., it will affect the central nervous system of the brain and cause cold hands and feet. In addition, if there is a problem with the sympathetic nervous system function, the muscles cannot contract when exposed to cold, and heat energy will be generated to resist the cold.

2. Overcoming strategies

1: Exercise frequently and shake your hands frequently

I suggest you get up early in the morning and do some exercise. Walking is the best choice. Walk forward at a speed faster than walking but slower than running. Swing your hands while walking for 30 minutes to promote blood circulation. Your whole body will feel warm. Because blood circulation and metabolism are accelerated early in the morning, you will be full of energy all day and will not feel cold easily.

You can also try simple stair climbing or jumping on the spot for 20 minutes until you sweat a little, which will help strengthen your body's ability to regulate temperature. After working for 40 minutes, it is best to stand up and walk around or step on the floor. Moving your fingers and toes from time to time while working can help blood circulation.

2. Take more vitamin E

Vitamin E can dilate peripheral blood vessels and is very helpful for smooth peripheral blood circulation. However, the effect of vitamin E is slow and must be continued for 3 months to be effective. In addition, 210-250 IU must be taken every day to be sufficient.

3: Eat more foods containing niacin

Nicotinic acid is very helpful in stabilizing the nervous system and circulatory system. It can also improve nervous tension, nervous diarrhea, dermatitis, and dilate peripheral blood vessels to improve cold hands and feet. If taken in large quantities, it will also cause the face to turn red and hot.
