How to treat cold hands and feet? A few tips to warm you up

Winter is the worst time for people with cold hands and feet. No matter how hard they try, their hands and feet just won't get warm. This needs to be treated in time. First of all, you need to adjust your mentality, have a good mood in life, exercise more, eat more high-calorie foods, and take a bath before going to bed.

1. Adjust your mindset

Studies have shown that when people are emotionally excited, the temperature of their hands will quickly drop by 3 to 6 degrees Celsius, and will recover after they calm down. Therefore, avoiding mental stress or emotional excitement can help prevent cold hands and feet.

2. Keep warm and avoid cold

In winter, you must pay attention to keeping warm, add clothes and shoes and socks in time; protect your hands and feet properly, and apply some oil frequently. If necessary, you should wear gloves when going out and wear thicker cotton shoes. Generally speaking, if the soles of your feet are warm, your whole body will feel warm.

3. Eat more high-calorie foods

Have you noticed that the temperature of people's hands and feet will increase slightly after a meal? Therefore, you should eat more foods with sufficient calories, such as meat, pasta, eggs and milk, to increase the body's heat production. However, obese people and diabetics should eat them with caution. You can also eat some foods that promote blood circulation, such as sesame seeds and peanuts. Onions and peppers can also help the body generate heat and promote blood circulation. Under the guidance of a doctor, taking some Chinese medicine for strengthening the body, such as ginseng, deer antler, royal jelly, etc., can enhance the body's ability to resist cold.

4. Exercise properly

It is important to do proper exercise in winter because exercise can promote blood circulation. There is no need for overly intense exercise. You can get a full range of exercise through walking, jogging, climbing stairs, fitness dancing, etc. If your hands are cold, you should move your upper limbs more. If your feet are cold, you should move your lower limbs more. The symptoms of cold hands and feet can be improved by strengthening exercises on your hands and feet.

5. Acupressure massage.

You can perform acupressure on Zhiyin and Yongquan. Zhiyin is located on the outside of the place where the fifth toe nail grows, and Yongquan is located in the center of the sole of the foot near the toes, in the center of the herringbone wrinkle formed on the sole of the foot when all the toes are bent. Rub and pinch each toe so that your feet feel warm. You may want to add some lotion or baby oil to promote blood circulation and soften your hands and feet.

6: Take a bath before going to bed.

Soaking your hands and feet in hot water before going to bed can not only promote circulation in the blood vessels, but also help you sleep. You may fill a bucket with hot water, rice wine and ginger slices (the ratio of hot water to rice wine is 1:1) and use it to soak your feet, which can help improve women's fear of cold. However, after soaking and drying, you should immediately put on cotton socks to keep warm, and you can also wear them when sleeping.
