It is common for some people to feel cold hands and feet in winter. This is mainly because the natural temperature drops, the yang is insufficient, the human body itself is also insufficient, and the body appears yang deficiency. In addition, due to the cold weather, the ability of vasoconstriction and blood return will be weakened, which will make the blood circulation of hands and feet, especially fingertips, not smooth, which is often called "poor circulation of nerve endings", resulting in the feeling of cold hands and feet. This situation generally happens to women, especially women over middle age. Mental workers are more likely to have cold hands and feet than manual workers, but they are rare among healthy young men.

In the cold season, many women will feel cold all over, especially in the peripheral parts such as hands and feet. Why are women more afraid of the cold? Two experts in the United States conducted experiments on female volunteers in groups, and concluded that people with low cold tolerance have insufficient iron content in blood, which is often accompanied by a decrease in plasma thyroxine level. The main cause of iron deficiency in women is iron loss caused by menstruation.
Iron is an important raw material for producing hemoglobin, which is the main functional substance in red blood cells and is responsible for the transport and metabolism of oxygen in the body. If the iron content in women's diet is low, the nutrition is not fully oxidized and the heat production is not enough, it is easy to feel cold. Thyroxine has thermogenic effect, which can increase basal metabolism and accelerate skin blood circulation. Iodine and kynurenine are the main raw materials for making thyroxine. Iodine needs to be provided continuously through food, while kynurenine is generally synthesized by itself in the body. Long-term iodine deficiency will affect the synthesis of thyroxine and reduce the body's ability to keep out the cold.
Nutritionists point out that women should consume18mg of iron every day, but most women can't meet this standard. Because women who are afraid of the cold should not only ensure a certain amount of food and enough calories, but also consciously eat more iron-rich foods, such as animal liver, mutton, beef, fish, eggs, black fungus, milk, beans and green leafy vegetables. You should also eat more foods with more iodine, such as kelp, jellyfish, sea fish and shrimp skin.
