Why are women particularly afraid of cold?

Many women are afraid of cold in autumn, with cold hands and feet, bad mood, irregular menstruation and menstrual pain, etc. Some women even feel tired, have headaches, and stiff shoulder muscles in autumn. What is the reason for women's fear of cold?

What are the factors that cause women to be afraid of cold?

1. Women’s skin is more sensitive

Compared with men, women's skin controllers are very flexible and can quickly transmit cold wireless data to the human brain. When the human brain receives a cold signal, the metabolic system will start immediately, and blood will enter the body through the skin and limbs. When the temperature suddenly drops, the human body will overreact, accelerating the metabolic rate and the rate of retreat of the blood circulation system.

2. Zinc deficiency in the human body

Generally, women with low tolerance to cold have less iron in their blood, along with a decrease in thyroid hormone. Since women have their periods every month, they lose a lot of iron, which is an essential nutrient for the production of hemoglobin, which can carry oxygen to every part of the human body. Iron deficiency anemia occurs when zinc is deficient. The air cannot oxidize nutrients better, and the heat production is too low, which leads to chills.

3. It is related to diet and insufficient metabolism of thyroid cysts

In order to have a slim figure, some women will lose weight by dieting, but the calories they get from food are simply not enough to be consumed by the body. Especially in autumn, the human body needs to keep warm and needs to consume about 100 calories a day to meet the requirements of basal metabolism. When the basal metabolic rate slows down, the body temperature drops, causing the body to be afraid of cold. Thyroid hormone has a thermal effect, which can increase metabolism, accelerate blood circulation in the skin, and increase heat. When the thyroid gland metabolism is insufficient, it reduces blood circulation, reduces the body's ability to generate heat, and thus causes cold hands and feet.

4. Related to estrogen levels

During the early stages of menstruation, estrogen levels are relatively high, and blood vessels throughout the body are in a state of dilation. Blood will flow into the peripheral nerves of the skin throughout the body along with the dilation of blood vessels, and the body is in a warm state. When estrogen levels drop, blood vessels will contract, blood will flow back into the body, and the heat in the body will be converted into body fat and stored in the subcutaneous tissue. Women's metabolic rate is relatively low, and heat generation exceeds decomposition, thereby reducing the release of heat in the body.

5. Women have less muscle and more body fat

Generally, women have more fat and less muscle in their bodies. The process of carbohydrate and fat oxidation must have the participation of muscle, muscle can help consume a lot of calories and release heat. Because women's metabolic rate is relatively slow, the blood respiratory system is afraid of speeding up, causing the body to feel cold.

Friendly reminder

In autumn, the temperature difference between morning, noon and evening is large, so you need to adjust your clothes according to the weather changes. It is advisable to eat more foods rich in iron, calcium, vitamin C and B vitamins, and participate in more exercise to promote blood circulation throughout the body and increase body heat.
