What should I do if I have cold body and dysmenorrhea?

Many women suffer from dysmenorrhea. Those with milder symptoms will feel very uncomfortable and have severe stomach pain during the days when menstruation comes. If the symptoms are more serious, they must take medicine to get through these days, and some people cannot go to school or work normally. Many people suffer from dysmenorrhea due to cold body, so if you want to relieve the symptoms of dysmenorrhea, you must first regulate your cold body. How should it be adjusted?

1. Strengthen physical exercise

Especially for those who sit or stand for a long time, they must pay attention to work breaks and do more hand, foot and waist exercises to enhance blood circulation.

2. Pay attention to your diet

Meat: Dog meat, mutton, beef and venison are better in keeping out the cold. They are high in protein, carbohydrates and fat, and have the effects of benefiting the kidneys and strengthening yang, warming the middle and lower body, and replenishing qi and activating blood circulation. Eating these meats can speed up the metabolism of people with yang deficiency and enhance endocrine function, thus achieving the effect of keeping out the cold.

Root vegetables: Medical researchers have found that people's fear of cold is related to the lack of inorganic salts in the body. Lotus root, carrot, lily, sweet potato, green vegetables, cabbage, etc. are rich in inorganic salts. These foods may be mixed with other foods for consumption.

Spicy food: Chili peppers contain capsaicin, ginger contains aromatic volatile oils, and pepper contains piperine. Eating these spicy foods can dispel wind and cold, promote blood circulation and increase body temperature.

Iodine-containing foods: kelp, seaweed, sea salt, hair algae, jellyfish, clams, cabbage, spinach, corn and other iodine-containing foods can promote the secretion of thyroid hormones in the human body. Thyroid hormone has a thermogenic effect. It can accelerate the oxidation process of most tissue cells in the body (except the brain, glands, and uterus), increase heat production, increase the basal metabolic rate, enhance skin blood circulation, and resist cold.

Regularly eating foods that replenish blood and qi, and eating more foods that promote blood circulation, can promote blood circulation in the body, which will relieve the symptoms of cold body. Doing more exercise can also promote blood circulation in the body. Soaking your feet in hot water every night, or asking a Chinese medicine doctor to prescribe some medicine, can also promote blood circulation, relieve symptoms of cold body, and relieve dysmenorrhea accordingly.
