What causes girls to be afraid of cold?

Many female friends around me are very afraid of cold, especially in winter. They have to wear three pairs of socks before going out, and they must stick a hot pack on their bodies when they are outside. But some girls are not afraid of the cold and only wear two pieces of clothes even in the winter. Many people don’t understand this extreme phenomenon. Some male friends would ask me why girls are so afraid of the cold. Now let me tell you why girls are afraid of cold.

1. The cause of this disease is the slow functioning of the autonomic nervous system and poor blood circulation in the hands, feet and waist where there are fewer blood vessels. In addition, hormone imbalance and metabolic dysfunction can also lead to such symptoms.

2. The biggest culprit of cold intolerance is the air conditioning in the office. Although electricity is tight, many units still set the air conditioning temperature very low. Women who stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time cannot resist the temptation of ice cream, iced coffee, cakes and sweets, and Southeast Asian fruits; who wear cool clothes and often wear sleeveless tops with shorts or short skirts are all factors that cause cold fear.

3. Modern medicine believes that because women have high estrogen levels in their bodies, the heat in their bodies is easily converted into fat and stored under the skin. Their metabolic rate is lower than that of men, and the synthesis of heat is greater than the decomposition of heat, resulting in less heat released from the body.

4. In addition, women generally don’t like to be active, so less heat is generated. Due to lack of exercise, poor systemic or local circulation often occurs, leading to chills all over the body, especially in the extremities such as hands and feet.

5. Iron deficiency and insufficient thyroid hormone secretion are also important reasons why women are afraid of cold. Those with low tolerance to cold have insufficient iron in their blood, often accompanied by decreased plasma thyroid hormone. Women lose iron primarily through menstruation. Nutritionists point out that women should consume 18 mg of iron daily, but most women do not meet this requirement and are therefore afraid of the cold. Thyroid hormone has a "heat-generating" effect, which can increase the body's basal metabolism, accelerate blood circulation in the skin, and increase heat. When thyroid hormone secretion is insufficient, people are afraid of cold because they produce less heat.
