Your hands and feet are often cold ... your cardiovascular system is too weak. Cold hands and feet have a lot to do with heart blood vessels, because blood is sent by the heart, bringing oxygen to all parts of the body. When sugar is oxidized, it can generate heat energy, and your hands and feet will be warm. Once the function of cardiovascular system is damaged, it will affect the delivery of blood, causing cold hands and feet. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, hands and feet are prone to cold and numbness, which mostly belongs to qi and blood problems, because qi deficiency and blood deficiency lead to poor blood operation and insufficient blood volume.
The main reason for cold hands and feet
* weak heart, unable to supply blood to peripheral parts of the body.
* insufficient blood in the body, low hemoglobin and red blood cells.
* Blood vessel blockage, or fever and cold will affect the central nervous system of the brain, leading to cold hands and feet.
* There is something wrong with the sympathetic nerve function, which makes the muscles unable to contract when it is cold and generates heat energy to resist the cold.
Who is the easiest to get cold feet?
* Girls who are too thin are most likely to have cold hands and feet [1], because such people have poor peripheral blood circulation and are prone to disorder of body temperature regulation mechanism, and cold hands and feet are caused by poor regulation of autonomic nerve function and thinning of blood vessels. Moreover, toes, knees, shoulders and fingers belong to joint areas with more exercise, because there are relatively few fat and blood vessels, and heat is easily lost. * When blood sugar is too low or blood pressure is low, food is an important source of heat for the body. Too much weight loss, too much hunger, too low blood sugar will make your hands and feet cold. When blood pressure is low, blood circulation will be poor. When you are tired and weak, your blood pressure will drop easily and your hands and feet will be cold. When the pressure is too great, your hands and feet will tremble because of the stress of work or the pressure of time. As long as you get through this tense period, you will slowly return to warmth. * The clothes are not warm enough. If your hands and feet are cold, there is something wrong with the average temperature adjustment. If you have put on several clothes, but your hands and feet have not recovered to a warm state, you should pay attention to the "cold spots" of many temperature-sensitive nerve receptors on the human body surface, because they feel cold too slowly. * Cold weather or staying in an air-conditioned room for a long time will reduce blood flow, slow blood flow and cold hands and feet.

Introduction 1 1: acupoint massage
Chinese medicine suggests that daily massage can relieve the symptoms of cold hands and feet and chills all over the body. The name yangchi means to accumulate the heat of the sun. Yangchi point is located on the wrist of the back of the hand, just at the gathering place of bones between the back of the hand. The way to find it is to tilt the back of your hand upward first, and several wrinkles will appear on your wrist. When you press the wrinkles near the back of your hand, you will find a tender point in the center, which is Yangchi point. Yangchi point is an important point that dominates the whole body blood circulation and hormone secretion. As long as you stimulate this acupoint, you can quickly smooth blood circulation and regulate your body. Stimulating Yang Chi Point should be done slowly, long and slowly. It is best to use both hands. Press the Yangchi point of one hand with the middle finger of the other hand first, and then press the Yangchi point of this hand with the middle finger of the other hand. This posture can naturally transfer strength from the middle finger to Yangchi point without the help of others. Women with cold hands and feet generally don't have to worry about the coming of winter as long as they insist on stimulating Yangchi point. * If you feel cold all over, you can massage ... Hegu point on the inside of the thumb, Neiguan point 3-5 cm on the inside of the wrist, Zusanli point 6-8 cm below the knee.
