7 bad habits of white-collar workers that can easily lead to coldness

When summer comes, women are showing off their skin, beautiful legs, arms, shoulders, and even a large back and a small waist. But in the office, the temperature is always a constant 24 degrees Celsius all year round, and the air-conditioning keeps the scorching sun away, but is always close to you. Little do you know that your uterus is suffering from the cold outside at this moment. How much energy do you have to withstand such consumption? Unconsciously, the cold air invades the body, and the female-specific organ - the uterus, is the first to be affected, and uterine cold is not far away.

Tips to keep warm: Keep your lower abdomen warm

Keep a coat or shawl in the office, such as a small cardigan with sleeves. Even if you wear suspenders every day in summer, it can protect your shoulders and prevent them from getting cold. When wearing a skirt, you can use a shawl to protect your legs, especially your knees. Women who are afraid of cold also need stockings to prevent the cold from starting from the feet.

2. Like to sleep on the table

Sleeping on the table will inadvertently expose your lower back, and your pores will relax during sleep, making you more susceptible to damage from cold.

Tips for keeping warm: Take a walk during lunch break to get rid of the cold

Don't stay in an air-conditioned room for 8 hours. Go for a walk outside at noon to let your pores come into contact with the natural air from the outside world. If there is cold air in your body, it can be dissipated.

Whether you want to lose weight quickly by dieting, exercising, or taking medicine, the way to lose weight is to make your consumption greater than your intake, but it must be a long process. If you try to lose weight in a short period of time, you will have to sacrifice your health. Rapid weight loss is nothing more than using strong and harsh drugs and abnormal means to expel excess water and fat from the body, which means that the body loses a large amount of energy in a short period of time, making it easy for cold evil to take advantage of the situation and attack the uterus.

Tips for keeping warm: Don’t be too hard on fat, and keep your weight loss goals reasonable

Health experts suggest that: "Women with a body mass index (weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters) of 20.85 are the sexiest." Don't be too harsh on abdominal fat, as it helps protect the uterus.

When you really need to lose weight, make a weight loss plan for yourself that is slow but has few side effects and is not prone to rebound. Follow the principle of eating less and exercising more, and set the goal to lose 1 to 2 pounds a month. When the uterus is warm, the qi and blood in the body flow smoothly and the menstrual period is normal; if the uterus is troubled by cold evil, the qi and blood will coagulate when encountering cold.

In traditional Chinese medicine, women’s constitution is yin and they should not be too cold. Even in the hot summer, you should not eat too much cold drinks, iced tea, fruits and other cold foods, let alone those who hold ice cream all year round. After eating too much cold and raw food, these foods will consume yang energy when entering the body, causing the internal generation of cold evil and damaging the uterus. Therefore, Chinese medicine's guidance on eating cold foods is mainly applicable to women.

Tips for keeping warm: Know the scale and order of eating cold food, and be careful when eating cold food

Traditional Chinese medicine recommends that it is best to eat cold food only in the midsummer season, and avoid eating food that has just been taken out of the refrigerator. People with dry body and hot temper can eat a little more, but don't eat too much, for example, no more than two ice creams a day. When you have to eat two things, cold and hot, it is best to eat the hot one first and then the cold one. If the order is reversed, the cold air will be pushed down to the uterus by the hot air, causing harm.

In addition to food taken out of the refrigerator, there are many foods that, although eaten at room temperature, are cold in nature, such as watermelon, pears, pork, mung beans, rock sugar, bitter gourd, etc. Even after heating, they should be eaten in moderation according to the season.

Frequent overtime work can easily lead to excessive fatigue, damage the body's yang energy, and reduce immunity, especially when working late at night, when the cold wind blows and evil winds "enter the palace".

Tips for keeping warm: When working late at night, relax your tense nerves appropriately every hour, get up and walk around, make a cup of hot tea, and wear enough clothes to prevent your lower body from catching cold.

Some women are born with a cold constitution, their limbs are easily cold, they are particularly sensitive to cooler weather, their faces are paler than the average person, they like to drink hot drinks, they rarely feel thirsty, they are afraid of cold in winter and resistant to heat in summer. However, when choosing food, these women do not choose warming foods that are suitable for them because of their cold constitution. Instead, they prefer cold foods. Therefore, such people need to pay more attention to their diet so as not to make the uterus "worse".

Tips for keeping warm: Eat more foods that replenish qi and warm the body

For example, walnuts, dates, and peanuts can make up for the innate deficiency with acquired high energy, so there is no need to worry about getting angry. People with cold uterus have insufficient fire energy and are not prone to symptoms of heat in the body. White-collar women should pay more attention to consuming these warming foods at lunch.

7. Lack of exercise

People with "uterine cold" should also increase their exercise appropriately. Generally speaking, people with uterine cold tend to be quiet and steady, and they easily feel tired if they exercise too much. In fact, "movement generates yang", and people with cold constitutions especially need to improve their constitution through exercise.

Tips for keeping warm: brisk walking is the easiest way. Walking, especially walking on cobblestone roads, can stimulate the meridians and acupoints on the soles of the feet, dredge the meridians, regulate qi and blood, improve blood circulation, and warm the whole body.
