Dietary precautions for people with body cold
1. Appropriate salt intake
In traditional Chinese medicine, salt is said to warm the body, so proper intake of salt can regulate blood circulation. Of course, you shouldn't eat too much salt, otherwise, it will affect your health.
control humidity
"Water surplus" is the enemy of women who are physically cold. Too much water will not only absorb the body's heat, but also make the kidney function low, leading to a vicious circle. Too much water will also become the cause of obesity in the lower body.
3. Diet should not be excessive
Eating too much will not only lead to obesity, but also cause body cold. If you eat too much, your gastrointestinal activity will slow down and most of your blood will stay in your stomach. The concentrated warmth in the abdomen will lead to cold hands and feet, so it is better to eat eight points.
4. "Negative" food should be eaten after being warm.
Milk, tofu, vegetables and other foods are all "negative" and easy to cause body cold, but after warm treatment, they can be converted into positive, so it is best to eat such "negative" foods after heating treatment.
5. Eat more northern fruits and less southern fruits.
Fruits produced in the south are often more "cold" than fruits produced in the north, and are more likely to cause body cold. For example, bananas make people feel cold more easily than apples. Therefore, when choosing fruits, cold people should also choose northern fruits.
How do people with cold bodies lose weight?
Traditional Chinese medicine divides obesity into "frequent constipation and abdominal protrusion" and "white skin, edema, easy sweating and knee pain". The latter is what western medicine often calls "pear-shaped obesity".
In modern people's obesity, compared with the obesity caused by fat on the muscles that grow during exercise, the edema obesity caused by slow water metabolism and body cold is more. And women are basically edematous obesity.
For example, pour water into a plastic bag, tie it on it and hang it, and the bottom of the bag will be filled with water. Water sinks due to gravity, so people who consume too much water often have symptoms such as "lower body obesity", "radish leg", "protruding abdomen" and "double chin".
The effective way to improve edema and obesity caused by slow metabolism caused by body cold is to strengthen exercise, promote the metabolic cycle of the body, and ensure sleep is also an important measure to improve body cold. Exercise can promote blood circulation.
