What should women do if they have cold hands and feet? Use this trick to deal with it!

Cold hands and feet are a common problem for many women in winter. Experts say that this is because women have poorer blood circulation and are more sensitive to cold. In addition, due to their monthly menstrual period, most of them will suffer from anemia and iron deficiency, which leads to symptoms of cold hands and feet. So, how do women deal with the problem of cold hands and feet in winter?

1. Keep your stomach warm

In winter, due to the stimulation of cold, the gastrointestinal digestive function is relatively weak when the weather is cool. In addition, food is easily caught in cold weather. This makes patients with existing gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, chronic gastritis and other diseases very likely to experience symptoms such as stomach pain and diarrhea, and even aggravate their condition. Even if you don’t have stomach problems, if your immunity is low, you may suffer from stomach pain.

During the cold winter season, you must pay attention to the temperature of your food and eat less raw or cold food. Especially those with weaker constitutions should eat more cooked and warm food, and avoid eating fruits and drinks that have just been taken out of the refrigerator.

At the same time, sleep affects the secretion of gastric juice. Excessive fatigue will lead to increased gastric acid secretion, which can easily cause stomach pain.

In addition, overly sweet foods produce acidic gas, so eat less of them. Tobacco and alcohol can over-stimulate the stomach and intestines. If you must drink, it is best to drink red wine and heated rice wine. Never drink ice beer to avoid aggravating ulcers.

2. Keep your waist warm

The waist supports the upper body and drives the lower body, playing a connecting role. Once the waist gets cold, it is easy to develop lumbar muscle strain, lumbar disc herniation, etc. Incorrect standing, walking, sitting or lying posture can easily cause strain on the weak lumbar muscles. At this time, female friends should never wear clothes that expose their waist and back when they raise their arms or bend over for the sake of fashion, otherwise cold air will accumulate and rheumatism and pain will follow.

When the weather turns cooler, eating more onions, tomatoes, carrots and other foods can effectively improve blood circulation. When going out, you must pay attention to keeping your waist warm and avoid letting the wind blow on your chest and back. Otherwise, you will feel uncomfortable all over when you get older and suffer from diseases such as lumbar muscle strain.

3. Keep your lower abdomen warm

Menstrual blood comes from the uterus. How well the uterus is protected directly affects whether menstruation is normal. Traditional Chinese medicine says that winter is the easiest time for cold evil to enter the body. If you don't keep warm, the cold air will penetrate into the body and cause "uterine cold", leading to delayed menstruation, dysmenorrhea and other diseases.

However, as the weather turns cold and the temperature drops sharply, there are still many women who love beauty and wear thin clothes, only short skirts and stockings when going out, or they eat raw and cold food. This can easily make the body catch cold, the cold evil damages the yang, affects the circulation of qi and blood, and dysmenorrhea follows.

If you have a weak and cold constitution, you are afraid of cold on a daily basis and cannot withstand the invasion of cold air, and the attacks of dysmenorrhea are often more severe. Some may even cause serious consequences such as arthritis, irregular menstruation, and infertility.

4. Keep your feet warm

As the saying goes, "Cold starts from the feet." When the temperature is low, women's blood circulation decreases, and the extremities of the hands and feet are the most susceptible to coldness due to poor blood supply. Some people also begin to experience a relapse of arthritis, with symptoms such as fear of cold, wind and even tingling.

At this time, women should no longer wear spring and autumn shoes that expose the toes. They should wear interlayer shoes such as sneakers and put cotton pads on them. However, the shoes should be loose and not too tight.

Eating foods such as black fungus and onions can help improve blood circulation and reduce blood viscosity. Depending on your physical condition, you can also stew some fish soup, red bean soup, pork ribs soup, or American ginseng soup to increase immunity.
